Silver,
>You must have bet Cajun Beat on BC Day because you certainly are in his camp. If you did good for you.<
I did. It was my only winner for the day, but it was more than enough at that price.
:-)
>How about Shake You Down for the Sprinter Title. All he does is run in 6 furlong Stakes Races and usually wins<
I would like him better if had beaten top quality horses a few times. A lot of his wins came with loose leads, against cheaper, etc.... Had he won the DeFrancis certainly.
Actually right now I would probably vote for Aldebaron because his overall record at 7F was spectacular. Not winning at 6F is a knock, but they all have a knock.
Cajun Beat only got good late in the year and Congaree might be best of all (certainly at 7F), but he only had that one sprint where he beat Aldebaron easily.
It's a tough category. I guess it comes down to what you value.
