This was a burn for many people and a loss to a 60-1 shot it seems tougher than being beaten by a logical contender.
No doubt he was at or near the bottom of the list in recency and form and with more than a few up and comers with good recent form the public let him go at near twice the price of any non-contender.
The horse and connections deserve some credit though when all is said and done. In four starts this year he has changed trainers four times. Going into the race he was one of only four multiple G1 winners and his three G1 turf wins equaled the remainder of the field.
Court Vision may have appeared over the hill "years ago" but he ran a hell of a race. Good for him.
