Everyone wants to believe their horse is the second coming of Seabiscuit.
Once they are let down it is just about impossible to have the patience to bring them back to top form.
The "he's standing there not making us millions" syndrome.

WTF are you talking about with this nonsense? After moderate tries in his first 2 comeback races (Pat O'Brien/Kelso), he had won 3 of last 4 including beating McKinzie in the G2 San Pasqual on February 2.. And the loss was a 2nd to Gift Box who'll be co-fave with McKinzie in the Big Cap.

He was a 5yo racehorse fully capable of competing at the same level he did before the stallion season as shown by his performances. Of course Don Alberto & WinStar would have him in training.
