Cut and paste: They said the weight would break him.
137 pounds on a battered frame.
Age creeping in. Legs aching.
And in front of him — Honest Pleasure, the undefeated champion.
Youth, speed, glory.
It was supposed to be his race.

But Forego wasn’t built for surrender.
He was built for greatness — forged in heartache, muscle, and will.

They broke from the gate, and Honest Pleasure took off like thunder.
Forego?
He was last.
Far behind.
Too far, they said.
But that’s the thing about legends —
they wait for the silence…
then make history scream.

Around the final turn, the old warrior uncoiled.
Stride after stride, storming forward like the weight meant nothing.
Like time itself had to wait.

The crowd at Belmont rose like a wave.
Forego — the giant gelding with a soul bigger than any scoreboard —
was flying.

And in the final yards, he caught him.
He passed Honest Pleasure with the weight of a full man on his back…
and the weight of destiny in his lungs.

🎖️ They say it was one of the greatest finishes the sport has ever seen.
And they’re right.

Because that day, Forego didn’t just win the Marlboro Cup.
He reminded the world what heart looks like when it refuses to quit.

WINMETHOD Good stuff. I have a thing for achievers, human or animal. 1 hour 18 minutes ago

Cut and paste: He wasn’t the flashiest colt in his early days. He didn’t set the world ablaze as a two-year-old. But Gun Runner was built differently — forged in patience, hardened by experience, and destined to rule when the stakes were highest.

---

The Slow Burn

Bred from Candy Ride and Quiet Giant, Gun Runner had the pedigree — but greatness didn’t come overnight. He finished 3rd in the 2016 Kentucky Derby, behind Nyquist, and while others faded into the shadows afterward, Gun Runner only sharpened with time.

He wasn’t a comet; he was a forge-fire — glowing hotter with every step.

---

2017: The Takeover

By four, Gun Runner had become a war machine. He demolished elite fields in the Stephen Foster, Whitney, and Woodward Stakes, gliding across the track with power and precision. And when he showed up at Del Mar for the Breeders’ Cup Classic, the world held its breath.

Against the mighty Arrogate, many still doubted him.

He silenced every one.

Gun Runner seized the lead and never let it go, blazing to victory with Florent Geroux aboard, ears pricked, legs churning like pistons. It was the kind of performance that doesn’t just win titles — it etches names in stone.

---

The Reign Ends, But the Legacy Begins

He retired early in 2018 after winning the Pegasus World Cup, his fifth straight Grade 1. That was the final act of a campaign that crowned him Horse of the Year.

But Gun Runner wasn’t finished.

At stud, he passed down more than speed — he passed down fire. His progeny include the next wave of champions, carrying his grit, elegance, and will to win.

---

Gun Runner wasn’t born a legend.

He earned it, one relentless stride at a time.

From Louisville to Gulfstream, from underdog to undisputed — he’s a reminder that champions aren’t always meteors.
Sometimes, they’re slow-burning fires that light the world.

netsfan3, > self glorification is demeaning yourself.  Yes, self-glorification can be seen as demeaning oneself in a sense, especially from certain perspectives. 
Here's why:
It can be rooted in self-dislike: Some sources suggest that self-glorification can stem from a lack of self-worth or self-dislike, where individuals try to compensate for these feelings by constantly seeking external validation and praise.
It focuses on external validation: When you focus on glorifying yourself, you're constantly seeking attention and approval from others to feel good about yourself. This reliance on external validation can lead to dependence on others' opinions and make you vulnerable to their judgments.
It hinders authentic self-expression: Striving to be something you're not to impress others can be demeaning to your true self. Being your authentic self, flaws and all, allows for true self-acceptance and fulfillment.
It can lead to a false sense of self: Living in a fantasy world of exaggerated accomplishments and inflated self-worth can prevent you from seeing yourself and your limitations realistically. This can ultimately be self-destructive, as you might struggle to accept setbacks or criticism.
