Which is fine, but when you stack up what Point Given was beating in those premier races and then compare it to what Holy Bull was beating in the "less premier races", it's not even really close.

I'd rather look at the specific races and see what was actually in them, rather than just looking at the name of the race. But that is my opinion and realize it isn't shared by everyone.

No, I agree but remember how Point Given won the Preakness, Belmont and Travers...awesome horse denied TC by bad ride.

Yes, he dominated bad horses, other than Congaree. You're stuck on the names of the races. We'll just agree to disagree.
