And I am not his number one basher. He really was a good horse. And yes he did everything he was asked and in races like the Donn and Whitney he even did a little more.
However the more fragile breed or greed for stud dollars creating early retirements should not lower the bar for determining greatness. Horses like Kelso, Forego and now Lava Man do not have one of those alternatives. They remind me of that line from the Movie 3, "All I wanna do is race". In several respects these horses have received near Immortality status simply because they had no where else to go and were very very good at what they did.
Glad to hear you have generously accepted your spot on the Greatness Committee. Mall was removed and replaced by the [b][u]Honorable Bobphilo.[/u][/b] Mall was deemed to be in bed with too many Lexington Breeders (not literally) and hence would be voting all of their horses as Great to generate a higher valuation hence a bigger Commission for himself.
The first meeting is Opening Weekend at Saratoga at Siros. See you there and who knows, maybe the next Great One...........
