A glib response. The point was that Best Mate destroyed his rivals so that others often ran on from the rear past the exhausted horses that had taken him on . He was a brilliant jumper one thing that Long Run is not .

Long Run's exalted ratings come from that now obviously dodgy KG form and beating a Denman evidently on the decline and an obviously not at anywhere near his best Kauto . Around Cheltenham I believe Best Mate would have beaten LR comfortably.
