@tigerboy1966, I've always said if Jim Bolger had kept New Approach in training as a 4yr.old in 2009 that he would've been the toughest horse that STS would've faced that year. Especially in those 10f races. I don't know if New Approach would've beaten STS or not? But I think he would've pushed STS to a lot tougher extremes than Delegator, Fame and Glory, Rip Van Winkle, Conduit, Mastercraftsman, Youmzain, or any of the others that STS beat did. TJMO.
@GBeret83 If New Approach had stayed in training we would have seen STS forced to run flat out for more than his signature 150 yard charge. There wouldn't have been a safe track record on the planet.
What New Approach accomplished in 2008 sort of got pushed aside because of what Sea The Stars accomplished in 2009. Which is a real shame, because make no mistake, this was a class thoroughbred!! If not for STS, people would've been talking about New Approach for a long, long time. IMO.

Personally, i think he would have won the BCC in 2008 if he went there. He was the best horse this year overall and got better throughout the year.
