Flightline has run some otherworldly performances and seems like the obvious call. But he is 4 years old and has only run 5 times. These are living animals and not machines. Things happen.
He's not Dr. Fager, Damascus, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Forego, Spectacular Bid, etc., etc. Doesn't have the resume.
Hope he proves me wrong with a stunning performance in the Classic.

You can compare talent versus resume, they are apples and oranges. If we just use resume just about every horse the last 30 years, except a very few (mostly female) would never be in same breath as horses from say 1900-1999, and we know that is not the reality.
