Rose rode that horse in the Derby like he was on Smarty Jones when he should have acted like he was on Strike the Gold. The horse was so classy that he still managed to hit the board, but if he had been allowed to close we probably would have had a TC winner last year.

I agree. He should have an asterik beside his name. He was good enough. His Preakness Stakes move before the incident with Scrappy T was legendary. You will probably hear that a hundred more times from me. I couldn't get enough of that horse last year.
