>That's it, end of story. Sightseek was better and faster. PERIOD
And then they ran against each other and split their races one-to-one.
Anyone who saw Azeri win the Spinster while under Total Wraps also knows she just Wrapped Up the Older Filly and Mare Eclipse. Azeri and Company stepped out of the box a couple of times this year, two sprints and The Met Mile against a field that keeps looking better and better. Azeri should not be punished for this.
I did my best to not mention the drug testing angle as being a reson why Frankel is passing on the BC with Sightseek because after all he is going with Ghostzapper and Nothing to Lose. How they run that day is another story.
What is a little strange is his logic and using that same logic with Ghostzapper he should have run in the Jockey Club, because after all it was for a cool $Million. Then put the horse away for the campaign because it would be to much to ask him to run right back again. At least that is his logic in Sightseeks case. If the other Horses stumble on BC Day Ghostzapper wins all the awards while not running. Maybe Frankel thinks those horses can win while HE KNOWS Sightseek could not.
Frankel is trying to back into a title by hoping Azeri loses on BC Day. For this type of logic he SHOULD BE PUNISHED!!
