Ah, well. Who will ever forget the great Metropolitan Miles of the past, with that snob Marshall Cassidy introducing the horses over the PA system as they came onto the track for the post parade. What a patrician! He is missed, that snob and his snob voice. <\/p>\n<p>The 1990 Met Mile was that crazy race where Criminal Type outran both Easy Goer and Housebuster. The latter two were taking all the action, and Lukas pulled the upset with his interloper, around 6-1 or so. Good race, close at the finish. Almost as good as the 1987 Haskell with Alysheba, Bet Twice and Lost Code. That era had all the good horseys, like Java Gold and Polish Navy, great names for the horseys, not slick hipster names.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the greatest Thoroughbred of all time was undoubtedly Frankel. Of that there can be no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Now to today.
