Taiba finished better than him in the KY Derby, too...

Okay okay okay
Taiba
Wins his maiden at 6 furlongs
2nd start wins Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby
3rd start Kentucky Derby finished off the board (this race was just too soon for a horse with only 2 lifetime starts)
Every other start was in grade 1 races,
Wins 2. And loses 1 by a head, and finishes 3rd to Flightline( AN OLDER HORSE FOR THE AGES)
Draw a line through Kentucky Derby, and look at overall record and what do you see?
I see a very special horse that is clearly the Champion 3yr old of 2022
