Just to clarify - I should have said San Diego, not Del Mar is 476 feet above sea level. But you get the point.
As for Real Quiet - my point about altitude is that maybe his races in NM were bad as a result of the change in altitude coming to NM from CA. His triple crown (and subsequent races) could easily have been juiced up performances. He did not figure on dosage and with all the light shining on drug use now, who's to say that RQ didn't get vet help while Baffert and friends cashed big tickets on the "weaker" half of the entry?
