Lawyer Ron was the most overrated horse on the TC trail. I kind of like him, he's a neat horse, but he's not supremely talented. It isn't a criticism...it is reality.

I consider both Steppenwolfer and Lawyer Ron to be more than a "plodding mediocrity" in the grand scheme of things. Lawyer Ron isn't the most talented horse there is...I will admit that. However, he is, like you said, a neat horse and if he comes back into form from his injuries then I see him as being a solid Grade II animal which will be very good considering the depth of talent in this crop he is in. Also, I believe that had the circumstances been different in the Derby that he would have finished in the top three. I thought he had one more race in him and was wrong. It was too late. Holthus had already done him in. I just wish I would have known about the chip before he went into the Derby.
