Albarado certainly didn't do him any favors in that race and I don't think it was a bad effort by Mineshaft at all. I think Randall makes a good point about him being ducked. When you run in races like the JCGC and the Woodward and Foster, you can't be accused of ducking anyone. BUT.......BUT.........that doesn't change the fact and the fact is that all of the others faced each other and most of them did so several times and the fact is that Mineshaft only faced one of the others that would be considered in the top seven and bad ride or not, he lost his only matchup with an elite horse that year.
