I think they used to call it more as a "foul is a foul" back then, I could be wrong I just started watching it.

Its pretty hard to use one example 20 years ago as any justification in a decision today.

now, it's 'racing luck'. that's not what he said about GOD earlier.
does anyone think that part of why he told the owners to retire GOD was so he didn't have two horses with the same running style in the classic? i don't know how trainers juggle top horses from different owners anyway.

Going to be interesting in Dubai as both horses are being pointed there.
