CTC,

IMO, you are almost certainly wrong on this point. RIM ran a spectacular race at Saratoga. That was a brutally competitive pace performance early. Had the pace been even close to honest RIM would have beaten Perfect Drift by a very clear margin that day. I don't care what the final figure was that or on BC day, his BC performance was simply a return to that excellent level. I made that point about the Saratoga race multiple times prior to the BC and several people agreed.
If Azeri tried to run with RIM, she may have hurt his chances, but she would have finished last.
