Is there such a thing as class?
I think that would be a good question for "Doc".
"Doc" used APV. Clearly a measurement of class.
"Doc" advocated only using certain horses in the Kentucky Derby as contenders based on the "class" of races they demonstrated they could win.
(maybe that would apply to other types of races as well, hhhmmm)
Yes, I believe "Doc" had a clear idea of what class was even though he may not have professed it because of his basic methodology, he knew more about class (a "horsey" thing) than he let on.
