why is it ridiculous to feel that this horse may not in the league with the horses that you've mentioned? I was under the impression that War Pass still had something to prove. Personally until I see a 2 turn route on a fast track against top competition, I hold a question mark in my mind. It seems that many have already made up their minds that he's untouchable.

thing is, it's a no win situation. war pass won by a big margin in the juvie, it was the slop. he wins for fun, the competition is suspect. he doesn't overcome a variety of circumstances, and now he's no good. had he won yesterday, yesterdays group would have been viewed as 'soft', and let's just see what happens next time.
too many view this sport in black and white, when there are many shades of grey.
once more, maybe this horse isn't as fantastic as some thought, but i doubt he's as bad as others are now saying. but this whole crop is still a mystery, with the top of the heap being a horse who has lost to war pass more than once.
ah, but isn't it fun trying to figure it all out?!?!
