I disagree that his campaign was cowardly, at least by current standards. He raced in most of the major East Coast dirt stakes in the second half of the year for older horses. Other than the Met Mile and the Woodward, where else did you expect him to show up during the second half of the year? If you don't want to race your older dirt male on synthetics, your early season options are pretty much limited to the Donn, Oaklawn Handicap, and New Orleans Handicap. Blame's year was no less adventurous than Ghostzapper's Tom Fool-Iselin-Woodward leadup to the 2004 Classic.
