I know Point of Entry and Orb are in different stratospheres, but since Shug trains them both-

Shug wasn't really able to oversee a lot of Orb's works and preparations leading to his return in the Travers. But everyone said he was working great. In the Travers the rail opened like a door, Orb shot through it, and flattened. Now is that because Orb really wasn't as fit as advertised and needed a race, or because he just wasn't good enough?

I'm just saying I've heard the speech from plenty of very good trainers, including Shug that say their horses are working like demons. But in races of this caliber you gotta be in peak shape/form. I'm not trying to muddy up your guys' thoughts, but does PoE need a race?
