If it were just Thor's Echo, there would be plenty of doubt. Just like there is plenty of doubt that coming off a big top creates an automatic toss. I certainly don't buy that line of thinkiing.
Thor's Echo has done nothing wrong all year. He was one of the most likely horses to win that race. The bias may have increased the margin he won by, but chances are he would still have won.
