And as far as the bolded sentence, didn't we find out how good Daaher is when faced with some pace pressure, today??????

I took my stand when after the Cigar Mile, I said that I didn't think there was anything to take from the race and that I thought Daaher was not nearly as good as that performance indicated. I'm not trying to be covered at all with the horse. I'll evaluate what I think are his chances in his next race when I see the conditions of that race.

The point of the post was just to say that it's not automatic that something was wrong with him because he didn't run to expectations that may have been unrealistic. When a horse that's proven at a certain game, take Smokey Stover in the BC Sprint for instance, runs completely off form, it makes sense to suggest that something was wrong. When a horse that hasn't established ANY form under the circumstances that he faced today comes out and fails miserably, I don't think it's wise to make the same assumption.
