In my half baked theory I would never have said Stardom Bound is "superior" to RA because with my own eyes I can see how Starbom Bound was regressing and RA was moving forward. As we all know, 2 year old form doesn't always translate to 3 year old form. We can argue for or against who deserves awards, HOY, who is better etc. and we all have some validity. I'm just saying, Beyer figs or any type of figs in general shouldn't be used as a major source of comparision between horses. BTW, I wouldn't have made Justwhistledixie the favorite in Oaks future wagering either, that was probablty made by the West Point owners.
