What was asked of this very talented horse was ridiculous. His connections should be ashamed of themselves.

It is getting unbearable to watch horse racing coverage on TV nowadays. Most of the TVGers are a joke, ESPN is worse and HRTV...zzzzzz (although that is beginning to look good in comparison).
There were a few things that annoyed me about them today and normally I'm more forgiving, but there was the weird implication before the Travers that there's only one 3yr championship that QR could get because RA didn't show. I forget the exact wording, but that was the idea it sounded like they meant, and of course that's ridiculous as they could both get 3yo honors for their respective genders hypothetically. I know they know it, but that's not how it came out.
