If I was connected to the horse ...

I realize the horse will be a huge bust as a stud no matter what.. but, it's not a gelding or a filly, so the connections have every justifiable right to lie and mislead because doing so is actually to their benefit.
Or maybe they really did get lucky - and the horse got sick - and thus allowing them to miss the BC for the 2nd year in a row.

Forget Raven's Pass and Henrythenavigator. After watching Tiago finish in front of Curlin last year, I'd never count out any horse on this stuff. Logic says one thing. The stupid results we get on this stuff says another.
