I'm not disagreeing with you, either. But I would submit that you are far more likely to argue against the merits of an IEAH horse than a non-IEAH horse.

Put it this way: If Sumitas were to state that an IEAH horse was a lock to win a race if only his jockey wasn't so-and-so, I think your head would explode.


Pure Clan? I made a huge exacta with her second to the winner in the KY Oaks and talked at length about how the awful ride by Prado clearly cost her second. She was a serious victim of race dynamics in her prior race. I thought she was overrated off her races last year but has run OK this year.

Poor Sumitas.
