The amazing thing to me was not so much that AA won (I made his chances similar to CA, HF, and GG), it's how terribly all those other horses ran.
All year long I've thought that AA was a little better at shorter distances. Therefore I thought he might appreciate 9.5F a little more than 10F. I still don't know if I'm right about that, but if I am you would think he would be vulnerable at 12F in 3 weeks (especially given his running style).
However, it now looks like the crop is in such shambles he might be able to win regardless if I am right or wrong unless somebody new blossoms very quickly.
