They even spent over a minute talking about the Sunland Park invader. Not one word about Sassy Image in the 7-minute video ... and no knock on them .. because there was nothing to say other than "why is she entered here?" It was a rare Grade 1 for female sprinters ... and she didn't have a top four finish in a stakes race anywhere in a year and a half.
She missed a year. You keep ignoring it, but it's important.

Again, not easy to have, but I don't think she was impossible.

When I think of putover, I think of Pretty Boy Freud on the Travers undercard. Who ironically also had an unreported surgery prior to the race.
