Sad because we had a truly great horse whose talent was completely wasted for four years running on a joke surface against almost nothing but crows.

They are more interested in protecting a record than running against the best horses. The filly crop of older horses is pathetic, but at least they could try to beat Misremembered in the Big Cap. That shouldn't be a problem if she is all you think she is.
