I do want to say - I didn’t really read the other posts because I’m not in the mood to read about what mediocre horse he was, but I did see “one hit wonder” as I glanced through the thread, and I have to say I don’t understand the general disdain for the colt. He ran 6 times, won a grade 1, finished a very good second in the San Felipe to the eventual Derby winner off of a 5 month layoff and ran 4th in the Derby while injured. That’s all...have a nice day.

Isn’t the general disdain being shown here more for that ridiculous fluff piece about him than the actual horse?
I mean, I like the horse, bet him in the Derby and found the retirement and especially that article pretty nauseating.
