The horse is placing in stakes races the public is in no harm.

I don't see why the level the horse races at has anything to do with it.

I think you are missing the point.. The horse has been competitive and is sound.. How those two points don't undermind his races style and negiate any intervention is beyond my train of thought. If the horse was breaking last and finishing last then maybe something should be suggested. folks thoroughly enjoy watching this horse compete however the heck he does it. In a day and age when horses for whatever reason can't race this ole guy does to the delight of all his fans. Because he isn't in the mix until the last 2 furlongs of a race is on no business of stewards.
We know he is in caring hands and when his and the publics best interests aren't being served fairly he will be given the royal treatment.. To me its as good a story in racing as exists today. A 10 year old past champion doing what he does against quality calibur horses regularly under the supervision of good horse people without a greedy agenda. congrats to EA and his connections well done

wouldnt breaking poorly be an advantage in a race with an overly quick pace?
