Pretty sure that comparing PP's figures from '03 to those earned in his races leading up to the '04 BC will tell a different story, geniuses…

Yes, the 5yo Pleasantly Perfect was awesome.

He nearly got within 5 lengths of Congaree in the San Antonio and Big Cap. He ran one time prior to the '03 BC off a 6 month layoff.

Right, because he won the BC at SA it had to have been a better year, who cares what happened up to that point, right? It didn't matter either that he had a perfect trip in a race that unfolded the exact way he needed to be successful. That's a much better performance than a race where he ran against the grain of the track while chasing a horse who you yourself have called a monster. Genius.

And that's not even taking the rest of his 2003 and 2004 campaigns into question.
