Because I'm working with the assumption that Stardom Bound is better than Rachel and if I'm wrong about one, I probably overestimated both. So I'm saying that I don't think either of them could win the Derby now. I'm also working under the belief that a race where you've got one horse to beat that is on your level or better is easier to win than a race where you've got 5-6 such horses.
