His hoof issues are legit but hes physically superior? How the hell does that work? Which proves the hype and bias of the TC. If he was "Physically superior" , Accelerate would of been the one retired. Physically speaking, if ones career is 6 races, that's a problem.
The question should be, who did Justify beat? The three year olds were taking turns and looked awful yesterday in the classic. I think Catholic Boy and McKinzie are still out there (lol) and Mendelssohn was a rabbit target. The 3 yo's that survived, could not breathe on this horse. He was lengths, much the best yesterday.
His numbers through out the season were superior to everyone. I don't really go by them, but I look and its not even close. Justify would of had to step up during the fall, but we will never know. People forget he barely beat Bravazo in the Preakness...…..the crop was really not that great. Like I said in the beginning, the "hype" and fandom of the TC is evident and revealed by statements. "Physically Superior"????
....he lasted 6 races? Horse of a generation????? What? 4 or 5 months? If that's the case, God help horse racing.
Hes a real physical specimen alright, lets breed a bunch of em like that....
