To be mildly serious, I don't think you can say in one sentence " the horse is finished " and in the next say " but he may well beat Any Given Saturday ".

I also think getting too caught up in Sheetspeak, without looking at the entire situation, is extremely dangerous.

I was trying to say the same thing, but the words didn't come to me.
Don't get so hung up on those numbers and theories. Just look at the race. He had a dream trip, things went his way and he won easy. Surely the number was inflated a bit, but to project that he is through? Wathc the horse galloping home, does he look through?
