Yeah slot, but those "experts" got up off the mat pretty quickly and explained to us how they were right anyway.
All you have to is go back far enough in the pedigree until you get to a stamina sire(go far enough back and you can find one in just about any horse), and then explain that the horse they said wasn't bred to go that far was bred to go that far all along.
