What would Bobby Frankel's career have looked like if he didn't try horses out in races that were a bit above them class-wise when they're ready?

I will say that if Ironman Jon missed the Excelsior because of an injury then yes, this is an overly ambitious spot. However, if he's ready, I don't blame them for trying. That being said, I think he's up against it and will be surprised if Bribon doesn't win.
