I understand that but that wasn't the premise of Kgar's post. Kgar was saying that Hard Spun and Street Sense deserve extra credit for overcoming the obstacles, as if they were the only ones that had to run under the adverse conditions and everyone else had it great. While it's true what u said that all horses won't react the same way, who's to say that Street Sense isn't the one that had the affinity for it and that Grasshopper struggled mightily?
