Honestly the most frustrating the Golden Generation, and throwing Shiro into that mix only makes it so much worse. Despite everyone calling her the Silver Collector, I seriously want her to pull out a massive upset and get that sextuple crown, completely shattering the status quo of history.

While there is no chance she'll win more than one or two of the triple races, I do agree it's a shame there are so many strong racers. The weaker members of the golden generation could have dominated if they weren't racing against their peers.

I don't. Isn't competition half the point of sports?

I mean... from an entertainment standpoint you are correct. But if you, say, go up to Meisho Doto and say "damn girl, you would have been an absurdly dominant horse by any era's standards if T.M. Opera wasn't around," the only response you can really say it "well gee, thanks I guess." Because 2nd place is just 1st place loser in the horse racing world. You don't get famous for beating everyone but one other horse over and over again (except in a sort of affectionate way).

It's not a shame for us, the viewers, or any of the people in story watching the races that there are so many dominant racers. But it's a shame for Seiun that with Grass and El Condo seemingly going to participate in the classic triple crown that she's not going to win much of note (I would be shocked if she replicated either of her IRL wins if they are participating), and it's a shame for Shiro that a dominant career is just going to be second to her teammates in every distance lower than long (I'm not saying it's impossible for her to win at shorter distances... but she's just a weaker racer than they are at those distances).
