People trying to find reasons to beat the odds on favorite is a big part of handicapping. If the only holes one can find are the ones that you listed above, it is a testament to the respect the horse receives. If all you hear are these "criticisms", then perhaps i can list out the 2000 threads and responses over the last few months proclaiming this horse the greatest thing since wheat bread. Or the 200 news articles.

from handicapping stand point, I agree.
