Do you really think it would be good for the sport if - in a year or so - horses like Funny Cide and/or Perfect Drift were dropped into cheap claiming races and still failed to hit the board?
Just "making it to the gate" is not enough. These horses are/were great competitors and deserve more than to be treated like that.
Right now they are (thankfully) still quite competitive so it isn't a problem, but I hope that when their days of being competitive are over, their connections don't disregard what is in their horses' best interest (like you apparently want them to do) and instead know when to retire the horses. I am confident that PD's connections will do right by their horse. I am less confident in FC's owners.
