Getting away, for only a second hopefully, from the idiocy of dismissing a group of horses simply because of their location ( hard to get much more indefensible than that ), that was some performance by Creative Cause. It's easy to say that he was simply running against weak horses last year, and clearly many more talented horses have emerged out West in the last two or three months, but at some point it also doesn't say a lot about the BC Juvenile. Maybe Union Rags really was four lengths best given his wide trip, but he really needs to prove it this year, else that whole bunch may be very suspect.
