I don't know how these people with ridiculous money not realize they're buying a baby, in part, to a fraudulent second place finish in the Stephen Foster. Hell, they probably won't know who was in the field outside of Curlin.
Gamblers and fans of horse racing, not horse ******* come last again. Why even bother.

I mostly agree with you CP.
As far as this race meaning more value for breeding, I totally agree.
Einstein beat Barcola and some allowance horses. Doesn't matter what the race is named or the horse that romped away to win. Einstein never competed with Curlin in this race. Einstein is debatably a contender in the turf division, and this was a bit of a risky placement, if the goal is champion turf horse.
If you wanted to make a longshot case for Einstein running here, you could say he is a sound horse, and that running on the dirt could put some speed into him.
Even when the logic is against it, it is hard to root against Einstein/Pitts.
