Obviously. That is why I'd rather see them in the context of a legit race field.

She couldn't lose. Borel would be doing cartwheels on her back at the 1/8th pole as Zenyatta tried to close the gap and he'd start his interview at the 1/16th pole.

Finding 6 to 8 legit horses(filly,mare) to race for 3rd 4th and 5th place isn't going to be easy. You think Music Note or Justwhistledixie are going to show up? You will get the two big girls and 3 or 4 marginal fillers that will accept a shot at minor awards both in purse money and pedigree "page" legacy.

This wouldn't be the first time two great horses have faced-off, you know. Somehow a field, albeit small, usually shows up.

A field will show..a few allowance types hoping to get a little blk type if things break down.
