 Powell and Rice could never do this first time out ... they'd need a race over the track first. You can run for local office (maiden) ... state office (allowance) ... or even senator or governor in your home state (state-bred stakes) ... but not for president (G1) first time out.

 I love the analogy but it's true. Running for president as your first political election is like a maiden first time starter debuting in the Kentucky Derby.
