I think he obviously is.
Had the race been run differently - and the pace was slow - you could entertain the notion of an excuse for him. His Belmont Stakes loss featured him caught down inside behind a very slow pace in a race that featured a slow early, fast late, turf like fractions and time.
In this race - the pace in front of him was plenty fast and he was always in the clear. He's never going to be in any lighter than the 116lbs he carried. I certainly think it was a failed expierment...though he didn't exactly embarss himself or anything like that.
