That assumption has nothing to do with your statement and that was that you can compare who had the better season by number of grade ones. By that logic, Vineyard Haven has had a better season than Commentator. And according to your logic, the BC Juvenile Fillies carries no more weight than the BC Classic since both are grade ones. All grade ones aren't created equal. Heatseeker won the grade two Californian, beating Tiago and Surf Cat with a 109 Beyer. Both of those horses are multiple graded stakes winners in open company. Are you seriously going to argue that Big Brown beating Coal Play and Cool Coal Man in the Haskell (106) or beating Macho Again and Ichabad Crane in the Preakness (100) or beating Smooth Air and Tomacito in the Florida Derby (106) mean more simply because they were grade ones? Seriously?
