By your logic, he should have won the DCDM last year by a football field instead of finishing up the track.
Sadler has had severe BC-itis for a long time now, regardless of whether the race is at SA or Del Mar or anwhere else. It isn't the competition, most of the horses he races against are the same ones he's raced against all year.
If he wins the BCC, Accelerate likely is the only truely naturally talented horse in the race, even if it turns out uglier than the AA.
Since the Masochistic rule, a lot of horses suddenly develope Octoberitis--they either take to their beds, their sheds, or they all of a sudden seem very ordinary, while those horses chronically finishing behind them suddenly seem very special.
YMMV and likely does.
