Giant Oak has gotten slower and challenged from further back his last three......It is time for either rest, or more likely retirement....This is no longer a graded competitive animal, but then the MATCH UP has not evolved yet, but given the presser status of most of the winners there, a good correlation comes to mind: You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

I would look for 10 11 and 12 furlong contests, BUT they are mostly on the green these days.
