Well, I didn't exactly say those were great rivalries. Nevertheless, you do realize that Judge Angelucci was 3rd (and challenging for the lead inside the 1/8th pole) in that epic BC Classic, right?

Many horses may not be at peak performance when running in preps anyways. Most trainers target the main event and run thier horses in preps for a warmup do get a race in.

Actually, they don't. That's my whole point. If a top horse is not ready for a winning effort, these trainers nowadays simply skip races and wait for the "main event".

I would love to see a rivalry start in the Big Cap then continue in the Gold Cup, then onto the Pacific Classic/Goodwood.

Why not see it start in the Strub Series and/or San Antonio?
