Miesque's Approval didn't look too deserving last year. That ended up well.

Miesque's Approval and Purim is a bad comparison. Miesque's Approval was a multiple graded stakes winner in '06, he had beaten the previous year's BC Mile champion and had only lost in the Shadwell and against English Channel early in the year at Gulfstream. He had every right to be in the BC Mile.
