Yes, several people were disappointed in her comeback, but most of those also cited the 14-month layoff as a significant hurdle for her to overcome. You chose to negate that simply because she was precocious enough to win her debut against other maidens, completely ignoring the fact that she had an injury that necessitated surgery and had never set foot on a synthetic surface until her reappearance.
From your posts, you seem to expect a horse, once it's reached a certain level of performance, to maintain its best possible form the rest of its career regardless of circumstance. That's pretty ironic coming from a guy who has Java Gold and King Glorious as the two best horses in the last 20 years, when the former got his azz kicked in an allowance comeback the summer of his 3yo year and the latter got browbeat at 1-9 odds in a minor stakes in his first start around two turns...
