yea exactly

1. Raven's Pass has ZERO dirt form whatsoever.

2. For all we know his performance on the pro ride against his equal or superior -Navigator and the rest who were not grade1 turf horses(including Curlin), could have been typical of a top class turf miler. For all we know Goldikova would have beat them all, or any number of top class european turf milers from the past 5 years would have run faster over that course.
Forever Together could have had a shot? who knows...

3. ALL we do know is that Raven's Pass was very likely one of the top 3 turf milers in the world.

4. Elusive Quality is currently fashionable.
