I do see the difference. But...sheet numbers are all fine and dandy and they look especially wonderful then the horse is running against overmatched short fields.

Mineshaft was given one gutcheck by a decent horse and regardless of excuses he failed. He no doubt was a fine animal and the season he had was one for the ages. I just question the comp because at the end of the day, it really does tell the true tale. See the difference?
