Justify did something remarkable in winning six races in 111 days, five of them going two turns. This is something you likely won't ever see again. We can discuss where he fits from an historical perspective at another time. For now it's just congratulation on an amazing feat.

Lost in the midst of the utter brilliance of Flightline, is how good Life is Good is, as under those utterly impossible circumstances, he hung in for a VERY long time. You can’t win, or even finish second, in these circumstances. Life is Good was more than good.
