Davidowitz is clearly suffering from a horse racing version of Stockholm Syndrome where he has been held captive by the idea that Curlin was one of the top 10 horses of all time, where horses regularly retire after the TC, where campaigns like Ghostzapper's are embraced, where winning streaks are suddenly important even if they are achieved without running against top competition, where rapid fan bases whose sense of history begins with Smarty Jones become experts. He is simply sympathizing with his captors.
