Isn't the question now whether or not we have seen Maximum Security's final race?

It should have been closer for sure and I don’t disagree with you (or Alabama Stakes) that maybe he should have been favored.
I just think any race Maximum Security shows up in....he’s going to be the favorite. I hope they send him to the Classic because I think he’s toast, but I would also not be surprised if he’s retired in the next few days.
