Well, one could use your same argument and say that South America was robbed of Invasor.

Look, I'm not saying I am in any way happy that Premium Tap is gone, but this is a business, and the business is not great for fans who enjoy seeing the good horses. However, they aren't retiring Premium Tap, they just aren't racing him here.....like Invasor isn't running in his home country.
