I wasn't too concerned with the level of competition Tiz Wonderful was brought back against. It's my feeling that either a horse is physically able to run or he isn't. If he isn't, don't run him, no matter who the competition is. If he is, run him, no matter who the competition is. Now, if they were looking for a win, it didn't make sense to run him against Street Sense or any other top 3yo. But if they thought he was physically back to the level he needed to be at to compete, I have no problem with the level of competition they returned in. The competition is not going to reinjure him if he's not ready. The conditions of the race will. My problem would be with the decision to run him at 9f first out of the box.
