Yeah, i was just kidding, and despite the naysayers i thought he did a good job managing this horse, especially considering his fragility. But Ghostzapper really was 5 lengths better than anyone that year, and that was an excellent field.

If BOS goes, I hope they don't end up breaking him down. The last thing we need is ANOTHER horse to read about.

But wouldn't it put us in our places if he wins? Wouldn't that be a story!

If he were mine, I wouldn't be willing to take the risk. If he was sound, yes... but not 100%... no way Jose.

I'll give you Zapper, but what is Frankel now?? Something like 3 for 50 in Breeders Cup races. Zapper and Squirtle Squirt are the only two that come to mind.

Not Lukas or Shug level, but very good consdiering its almost impossible to win any BC race.

I just looked up his stats...he's won 4 and been 20 times ITM with 66 starter...38 times in top 6...BC earnings 2nd to D. wayne

Also, Spanish Fern I believe her name was broke down in the gate of the 2000 BC F & M Turf, that shouldn't count against him....

Starine, i made some great money on her. Especially after Frankel repeatedly said to the media prior to the race that he'd win the F/M Turf with her if the turf came up w/ some give in it. If memory serves me correctly I think Johnny V was in the irons.
