![]() If Dubai Millenniumm had only ducked the Epsom Derby ... I think he would probably be considered the consensus best horse from last decade over Ghostzapper.

![]() Mineshaft was a better horse and for a trainer that wasn't a cheat. How the great DrugS could not see this is beyond me.

![]() Mineshaft kind of sucked before he got lasix.
He was a brand new horse with lasix obviously. His lifetime PP's can be found here from an Illman blog link... http://community.drf.com/files/discr...e-family-1.pdf |

I wonder how many horses have strung together 7 straight beyers of 114 and above. Must be pretty rare.

those are some good numbers he ran without lasix not that lasix does much besides help keep them from bleeding am I right?

Perfect Drift was an excellent horse when he beat Mineshaft - and Mineshaft ran the better race of the two in defeat anyway. I think Mineshaft (with lasix) might have toyed with Invasor. But yeah, He's obviously not even close to being the best horse since '80 and the collection of horses he beat is not very impressive at all. |

As far as Mineshaft goes, very nice horse, but he couldn't carry Spectacular Bid's jock strap (assuming he could have one). |

![]() I agree with that, I've never said he was better than Bid.

There is a decent enough argument that SB was the greatest American horse of my lifetime, which is now approaching half a century. You can make decent arguments for a very few others as well. Mineshaft is not one of them. As long as we both know that, we're OK. |

Just to add as well that Epsom is the closest a horse will ever get to riding on a rollercoaster - it is just a ridiculous track and you can see every year how it affects plenty of immature horses.
