Kev,
I think you are missing the point. Frankel had only 4 horses "X" in the 76 starters immediately prior to the BC. I am sure a lot of them were also coming off tops or stepping up in class or changing surfaces, etc. and still only 4 of the 76 ran an X.
The first 4 Frankel horses that ran on BC day all ran an X. No matter how many excuses you make for each horse - 4 out of 4 as compared to 4 out of 76 is a strong indication that something suddenly changed on BC day.
Time to move on.
Good luck with this year's BC.
