If you owned that horse, do you think you'd care to run him against RR, especially in a dueling fashion?

Then why enter the horse at all?
You have to admit that in nearly all of the races during the streak other horses with early speed seem to scratch. I could see if it was a one time thing, but the fact it happens over and over again make the whole situation seem fishy at best.
Cole giving horses to Scooter Davis days before Davis trainees were set to run against Rapid Redux (shockingly they scratched) sort of tells the story.
Nice horse, but another manufactured streak.
