Jimbo glad to see you have finally found your identity....and mine too. I have explained the Lukas, Tabor angle on Derby Day once, that's all you get.
The Racing Secretary tells me GZ is NOT a Great Horse. I believe him.
So far GZ has won TWICE going two turns, once at Monmouth where he beat MonicaLewinsky and once at Lone Star Park. Both are considered extreme speed-favoring strips. In the Lone Star race the pace was negotiated in the paddock before the race.
If those are the quality's of a Great Horse in your book so be it, not mine.When Mineshaft won Horse of the Year he had a far better record than GZ did last year. He was on the edge of being called a Great Horse but like a lot of them left too soon. Cigar and Skip Away would certainly fit into category. They weren't afraid to show up and run anywhere and they carried the pounds too boot.
So far GZ has done neither.
