This is absurd. There's a very obvious reason why these horses underperform EVERY TIME in the Breeders' Cup. They're over the top and the race is almost always an afterthought for them. They've just ran a very taxing race 4 weeks prior - the race they were pointed to for months - and then they're thrown in the BC (after shipping) and expected to perform the same way they did in Europe. There's always the possibility for an aberration - and maybe STS is the horse good enough to produce it - but at 4/5 there's no value in expecting him to do what has never been done.
