I like how everyone neglects to mention that the race was the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown. It's not like he lost a cheap claimer or a maiden race at Fort Erie or ever even ran there for less than half a million.
Roses in May, Pleasantly Perfect, and Azeri must have been pretty crappy horses too for losing at Lone Star Park.
