As in massively overrated for what it has achieved.
People keep talking about it as if it could be a great horse, a future contender to Weekend Hussler, when in reality it has achieved nothing to suggest it will be anything more than a horse which wins a few weak group races. Very similar to Haradasun.
Light Fantastic has won one group one race, a race in which it only won because the best horse in the field (Marching) couldn't get a clear run, and even then it still almost won.
It then managed to beat a clearly injured Weekend Hussler, and since then has done nothing of note.
The similarities to Haradasun and Miss Finland are staggering, people were suggesting that Haradasun could be the horse to take down the champ, yet everytime he came up against her he pretty much failed.
So i ask is Light Fantastic the new over hyped white elephant of Australian racing?
