Peace Chant couldn't beat 62,500 claimers, but (with Oneil's potions) could beat Machismo(who just ran a nice 2nd to Georgie Boy...A length off In Summation before that.) I'm still waiting for the explanation on Modification being pretty close to winning that Grade 2 last Sunday. What did Modification beat the week before? Caramel Coffee?

Not to sound like a Monday morning QB but...
Its not like Magnum and Cowboy Cal are popping in the Beyer numbers themselves (sad to think these are your two favorites for the SA Cap). Its not that Informed hasnt run in graded company before. He ran in the Goodwood and ran with the likes of Casino Drive, Monzante and Dakota Phone in the past in ALW races. None of these types were running in the San Pasqual.
Didnt Machismo run in ALW OC just in October himself in Calder? Ran in 2 graded since being in the hands of Sadler and he ran well (can you accuse Sadler the same thing you are accusing Oneil of?)
Peace chant did have back class in him. Better than any horse he ran against at TuP.
Moderation did not win, did not come second, did not come third. sHe came fourth and basically flattened out when she tried to make a run. The others behind him in that race was shittier than him.
Why am I defending Oneil because
There definetley are other trainers who seek your attention when it comes to cheating. Show me a legit Dutrow, Asmussen, Scott Lake, Mitchell, Sadler winner in recent years. These are the +25% winning trainers who magically convert horses into superstars.
