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.

No absurd is thinking that different horses 30 years apart lost BECAUSE of the a particular race they ran in. It is like saying that Bills cant ever win the Super Bowl because they lost 4 straight a decade ago. (of course this year they cant win because they stink but that is a different story)
