Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2747119, member: 6819"] I agree. Let me edit. Double like. Alydar may have actually been the better horse, but Affirmed was the better competitor, and that's what racing/performance is about. I understand that Kelso used to stop and preen for the cameras. Then went out and kicked horsebutt. Seabiscuit showed up when the bell rung. I think that Ruffian may have been the most blessed horse, both standing still and in motion, that I ever saw. Just brute poetry. But when the bell rung a flock of birds was her undoing. I guess that's why it's called horse racing and not horse showing. [/QUOTE]
