What does his bad work months later have to do with your pre Derby assessment? he obviously wasn't that affected by that work because he went on to win the Jim Dandy and Travers.

Again, I miss your point on AGS. He had some issues after the Tampa Bay Derby, was rushed by the connections to make the Derby and then was wisely given a break, then showed he was a good one. his Dwyer was a very good race, i don't care who it was against, he crushed the field.
BTW, if AGS was just rushed, if that was it, then how come all the other horses like Curlin and Hard Spun were able to run like they did in the Derby...

I don't know, but I don't think that Todd Pletcher rushes his Derby horses...
