I know upsets have killed racing throughout history. Just think how much better off we would have been had upset not beaten man o War? Or if Secretariat had retired undefeated?
The problem is that everyone was sold a bill of goods. These arent invincible, unstopable forces who just steamroll their competition. They are very good fillies who have faced for the most part subpar competition. That the whole applecart is upset because one finished second shows how shallow and unrealistic our expectations are.
