BINGO Sight! Perception becomes a big part of this. I think this takes a bit of a life of its own. We all see how these Kentucky track horses run at their local tracks, yet when they go outside of Kentucky to say Saratoga and simply cannot duplicate their form, the perception at least to some is that something fishy is going on? For the same thing to happen, albeit in reverse to the Saratoga example, on Breeders Cup day just should not occur. bb
