that's the point. just cuz Sherrifs was too big of a mook to realize what he should have been doing. Don't blame the hoss. She did everything asked of her. Deserved to run in the big Cap and at Saratoga. Even in her lone defeat, she ran huge, and just missed to a really game hoss. Some of her races, she looked impossibly beaten , and still got up. A couple of hosses who almost beat her, ran tremendous and still lost. If you had Gio ponti, I'm sure you thought you were home free... sherrifs for not running her against tougher = bad. Zenyatta = good. Get it straight.
