Glad I could be the springboard for more of your megalomania.
I think you're presuming too much about the all important throat surgery. Dale Romans called it "minor". It probably was only significant as it pertains to her Sabin performance.
I highly doubt she won several stakes as a 2yo with a major airway problem.
Using strictly Beyers, off a near year layoff, she ran an 89 when her previous best was a 79. It's not unreasonable to believe she could continue to improve from that starting point. Unfortunately, she didn't have any races between March and May to prove the point. Hence the 16-1 odds.
But whatever, trying to reason it logically sucks compared to arrogant, pig-headed paranoia.
Let's move on to Case 2 and the titanic form reversal of the since deflated Flat Out in last year's Suburban.
Do you think they secretly untwisted a testicle or something? That would hold me back.
