Not everyone hated Repole. And there have been a few times in recent years where the owner/trainer/jockey combo of a potential Crown winner were pretty likeable. I don't think anybody hated any combo of the Funny Cide team. Same with Afleet Alex (at least at the time) or Smarty Jones. It's perfectly conceivable in horse racing to find connections that are at least mostly vanilla.
