@@DanielSong39 I agree. Saint Liam was absolutely legit. Just look at the ‘04 Woodward where he went toe to toe with Ghostzapper losing by a “zop,” as Tom Dunkin would call it. Nobody else did that.
It is my humble opinion that Ghostzapper was a top 5 all time talent that was hampered with injuries during his career. He was so good at any distance put in front of him and had he entered in the Sprint in 2004 would have been the favorite. That’s how versatile that horse was, and his natural speed was a sight to behold.
Watch the 2004 Woodward stakes and you will see St Liam give Ghostzapper a challenge. However Ghostzapper was probably the freakiest horse in my generation
they were just lucky zapp didn't defend his title...
Wasnt St. Liam the only horse to give Ghostzapper fits in a stretch duel in the Woodward the year prior and Ghostzapper was a beast
Probably the weakest field assembled for a Classic.
Saint Liam was legit.

Ghostzapper would have trashed this weak field had he come back for a repeat.
Ghostzapper's winning time in the 2004 Classic was over two seconds faster against a better field. What more needs to be said?
...unless Afleet Alex had been around, too. That would have been a race.
His knees were shot, being fast comes at a price

This is a crap field.
