Foiled Again

[LB46]

What an amazing animal, this horse just keeps coming at you week in and week out.  All of the other great ones have gotten tired or had soundness issues as their careers went on but not this horse.  I have never seen a horse quite like him, he never races bad, he is not the fastest horse all all time but he might be the toughest.  Just in amazement of what an iron horse he is, I just enjoy watching him to his work.  Incredible!!!

[LVGaryD]

He certainly is the richest pacer of all time too!

Gallo was a great horse but (imo) Foiled is all alone at the top and its not even close

Gallo Blue Chip

I'll qualify this by saying I did not watch Gallo a lot until late in his career, I was not involved in the game until then.  Obviously they are both great horses and I do not want to turn this into a which horse is better because either would be fine with me but FA is just so tough and it astonishes me that he is able to take such brutal trips and keep digging. He had every right to get beat Saturday night, but he just kept digging and fought off a nice horse in Razzle Dazzle

The great ones have so much heart that they can always find a way to win. Won The West did it on a bad suspensory later in his career. Mack Lobell won huge on very sore feet his 3yo yr and would usually make a break just past the wire because of the pain, but he'd hang on until he had it won. The super horse that Bob Farrington had back in the Sportsman days (who's name I can't remember, dammit) would spend alot of time with refrigerator wraps everyday for his bad front tendons, would go out and kick butt in the invite every week. I love one with heart and I hate a talented bastard that won't try.

I'm not going to argue who may be better - both are 2 of the great ones but to say "its not even close" is just plain silly.

Foiled Again: 63-162
Gallo: 53-132

Thanks Elgin, but that wasn't the name I was trying to come up with. I'll remember it when I don't need it. Always goes that way.

Still not even close (imo)
Gallo made $3,428,816 as a 3yr old and never made more than $270,000 in any other year he raced.

Foiled has banged out  over  a million the last 2 years against the best the sport has to offer , and the two years before that he made $900k and $700k

The horses Foiled made his money against dwarfs the horses Gallo raced against.

Foiled is no bigger than a pint of piss, but he doesn't know it. As anyone who knows me knows, I am very partial to small horses with huge hearts.

To me the obvious has yet to be mentioned. I think a lot of the credit goes to Mr Burke for how well this horse has been managed. The Team enters each year with a plan to maximize the horse's potential and have done an extremely good job in making it happen.
