Those examples I gave were to say that it can be there after six races as easily as it can be there after 26. Doesn't take away from the disappointment of not getting to see it longer though. But I don't think a horse's greatness is determined by decisions that an owner makes about where to race him and for how long. Those decisions have nothing to do with his actual ability.
I agree with that. It's just that IMO, if he doesn't win the BCC, who has he faced all season long? I'm sure that some people will look at his last race as the telling race of his career. He really hasn't had much competition this whole time (although it's not his fault.)
