Yeah, that's true. Performance on the track isn't always indicative of performance in the breeding shed. But if I'm paying big money for a stud fee, I prefer a horse that was trained by a square guy. I'd bet that Orb turns out to be a better sire than Justify.

And look, I don't think you can race a horse at the top level on just hay, oats, and water. If you do, I don't think you're gonna get much. But there's a line in there somewhere.

Anyway, people will defend Laz, but this is a pretty good read:

I read that story a while back. Laz is not Oscar.

is there ever a horse that came from the west coast and beat an east coast horse that you felt was on the square?

well, at least you came up with two (one of which I would disagree with, connection wise).

Affirmed just wouldn't let other horses pass him.
It's that simple.
