I thought the same thing last year when Satish won, and Super Saver ran 3rd. Trainers try, that's all they can do. As for the winner, nice job. If you have her on the show, hope she didn't read this.

I know what you mean... It's a response to what we saw out there in this specific running. It doesn't take away from O'Connell's accomplishment of being in position to win a G2 race. Certainly the winner, and any of them who should somehow advance to the bigger stages ahead, will have to improve 15 lengths or more to compete seriously with whatever sophomores that are out there that may be any good at all.
