Your point is highly refuttable and easily rebuttable.
>I dont think this horse is as good as smarty, point given, sunday silence, alysheba, and especially spectacular bid.
This horse did something yesterday that Smarty, Sunday Silence, Alysheba and the Bid couldn't do. He passed the "Test of the Champion". All four stared down that long Belmont Park stretch after having run a Mile and Quarter and caved. Alex drew-off.
Only Bid out of that bunch has a real argument regarding superiority at this stage of their respective careers. Alex has a little more push-button burst than Sunday Silence, which is saying something, and is nowhere near the head-case. Another words he is a much more professional runner. Ritchie isn't using anywhere near the drugs Point Givens trainer was and has sounder feet. Alysheba had a lot of talent and a lot of losses on his resume. Smarty couldn't relax and rate like this one can. Yesterdays results bear that out.
Alex is the best horse RUNNING right now and is the fans choice for Horse of the Year.
