What a performance by Accelerate!!!. Pressed a pace that cooked the other contenders while wide on both turns and still won. He has my vote for HOTY. I don't care if Justify won the TC. They forfeited that award by retiring him early.

Whatever the reason, he never beat or even ever faced open competition for 3YO and UP.

Well, let's put it this way. If I paid you 60 million dollars to discover an injury in a horse, I am sure you could find one.

sure, but that is just speculation.

Even if I think winning the triple crown trumps those other wins, American racing revolves around the Triple Crown, without the Triple Crown I am not sure racing even exists.

I think it's a little more than speculation. Closer to "reasonable conclusion from the data".

True, The only time most of the general public even think about racing is the Kentucky Derby or if there is a TC winner. That is not enough to grow or even sustain interest in the sport. One or 3 races a year won't do it The least racing can do is to give fair justice to the best horse or it will remain a 1 day or 5 week a year curiosity.

Not just you. That 70,000 announced is almost certainly overstated.

It looked empty to me too, but I thought Del Mar looked empty and everyone told me I was crazy, so...

I didn't. I posted photos of how empty Del Mar was.

At this point, I am not sure I trust BC announced attendance figures at ANY track.
