This Great One Won't Elevate his Performance (370 Views)

Just came across this one and Finley hits the nail on the head.

If both Trainer and Owner want to say we could have retired him so feel lucky he is still racing. I say fine just DON'T TELL ME HE IS A GREAT HORSE.

>But does talent equal greatness? It's a question Frankel and Stronach apparently don't feel needs to be answered.

Maybe in their minds, but not in the minds of people who know better.

This Great One won't elevate his performance.
Even on the biggest stages at the lightest weights.
He seems to be able to summon up something extra and thru shear will produce nothing.
