Commiserations fellas,

He was/is a great horse and deserves all accolades for his great career.
The horse is definitely one of the greats but how do you sandgropers feel about the way he was placed in unsuitable handicap events over here which detracted from his overall performance history.
Be honest, do you think his connections detracted from the potential of a truly great horse.
I still remember early this year when he began to race with his head turned to the side-normally this is an indication that the horse has had enough but this mighty horse kept giving his best every race.
A truly great horse and maybe a place in the equine hall of merit?
The jury is still out in respect of his credentials as being a "champion" -ask Fred about that.

Cheers.
