Medaglia d'Oro was a good horse, but he was all-out to hold Repent going 10f who if I remember correctly was coming off a big layoff. Medaglia d'Oro was a good horse, but he certainly didn't excel at 10f, which I suppose makes him vulnerable compared to how he was at 9f, right?

He'd have lost to Secretariat, Affirmed, and Spectacular Bid at 9f. Does that mean that he was vulnerable at that distance too? I will say that I don't think he was as good at 10f as he was at 9f but he was still damn good at it. If he's running today, he would be dominating these goats out there and nobody would be suggesting that he is vulnerable at 10f. Timing does a whole lot when it comes to public perception.
