So in theory if Giant's Causeway and Sahkee had run against easier company (no Tiznow) they'd have won? True, but... Champions are not supposed to seek easier company.
Maybe "didn't" would have been a better term. In fact, GC was probably a better horse than Raven, but Raven never had to beat Giant. What Raven's Pass DID do is something that (IMO) should have when coupled with Midshipman's efforts, earned his breeder the Eclipse.
