People remember horses like Winning Colors and Lady's Secret and Genuine Risk and the first thing u think of is them beating the boys. Think Althea and u think Arkansas Derby. Of course, they don't have to prove anything. But wouldn't u want to?

That's what the "sport" or "business" might be about for you -- but that is not what it is about for everyone else. The "basic level" you refer to is not anywhere near basic, not in any way. If Coolmore wants to turn sportsmen and race her against the boys, great, I am sure everyone will get exicted, and they should. Coolmore's mindset, business model and operation doesn't make this the norm however.
