I can't agree with that Sightseek. We could find a number of "could have been" situations for a lot of horses. The most prominent might be that Princess of Sylmar could have been, would have been division champion and maybe one of the three finalists for HOY had she not run in the Distaff. We have to go with what did happen over what could have happened.
