Matt - you're point is spot on - they never ran this horse once to drop and cut - short of the 75k tag that they knew no one would touch her for, and then two protected starts which suggests to me that the connections know they got a great deal and wanted to protect this one.
Sorry if I choose see the glass half full - but the OMG MEANY HORSEY GUY witch hunt bullsh.it is unfounded in my opinion.

Look at Saratoga's Facebook page and the comedy I got myself involved with. Talking common sense to some of these people is just impossible
