Lets face it-neither horse is very good. We want to heap huge praise on the filly for holding these two horses off and she deserves a measure of credit for doing that. Lets not pretend though that those horses are something they arent. Yesterday seemed to back up that point.

Their trainers might not've done it on purpose, but that's when the horses were at their best. Not everyone expects to win the BCC so they look at another G1, or maybe they think it'll get even better and the horse isn't even primed yet. Looking back on their year it was obvious this was their top. As I said, Haskin seemed to think it too so I don't feel particularly silly in my assertion. Nobody said they're Secretariat, but they were feeling their best and that best was dangerous against the average or even above average 3yo filly. RA was obviously much better than that.
