I can't label a horse the "best ever" until they've raced against the cream of the current crop, however, to the eye, she's clearly one of the best ever.
You guys take forums way too seriously.
Lighten up - there's more important things to do with your time. Spend it showing passion, not trying to bring each other down.
Did I hear Murtha say that Santa Ana Lane has always been close in Group 1's but never really got the job done? It was something along those lines and he was rightfully put into his place.
Happy to be proven wrong, but if you don't know basic information about the game, why are you hosting a show?
You all poke the bear and then cry when he does return fire.
