They weren't going to beat Beau Genius anyways. Won like 10 stakes from 6f to 10f that year.

Couldn't handle a three-pronged duel in the BC Classic between him, Thirty Six Red, and Dispersal after a half mile in :45+, though.

Of course, if he ran nowadays Beau Genius would have walked on the lead. Dispersal would have been in the BC Dirt Mile and Thirty Six Red would have been arbitrarily retired after running off the board in the KY Derby presuming Coolmore or Winstar had bought his breeding rights after he won the Gotham and Wood Memorial (gotta protect his reputation and their investment).
