Initially, the jockey (Dale/ROB) was the debate! Still is IMHO. The trainers (Ned/Rob) were also included! The owners (SHs) are somewhat of an afterthought, particulary the Reasant Investors Group! (PIGS!)

Obviously the horse doesn't prepare the dinner, the drugs, or think, all he/she/it does is run!

Manipulation by any one of the above can slow him/her/it to a cantor!

In this race you've got to be at full gallop even as an also-ran!

IMHO, SAN hasn't even worked up a sweat!
