I never thought that this horse was anything but useful. You have me confused with the BEYER camp. It was they that need this horse to fail so that their figures would be, in some sense, validated. Hence, the grand spin during the triple crown season. Of course, this ultimately proved to be a failure and the higher ups in the camp got together and decided that rather than look ridiculous with the figures as they presently stood, they'd rather do some AD HOC tweaking of the POLY adjustments and at least get them to where they weren't laughable.
Hope this clears it up for you.
