we all have heard the term 'horses for courses'. i just appreciate a hard fought win against tougher circumstances far more than an easy win, whether a horse benefits from some sort of home field advantage or lack of good competition. it's why i appreciate rachels preakness far, far more than i do her oaks win. that takes nothing away from that performance at ky in saying so-but i like to see a horse actually show he can get to the bottom, and keep trying.
