I think what is fair, and we could differ on this, is that Blame was best yesterday and had a better season hands down. Anything beyond that is pure speculation.

There are a lot of factors that could come into play when a horse wins or loses by a head. We are not talking about open daylight here Joey. Maybe Blame hits a track that he doesn't like so much (he didnt seem to love belmont by the way) for the FIRST TIME, could that have made the difference of a head?
