This happens every year. Each year, the new fans see a Derby winner and think this horse is the best horse to race that year. Let that horse win the Preakness too and the horse is probably God on four legs. Sometimes it doesn't even take winning the Derby. By listening to the fans that have been around the sport only for the last five years, you'd be led to believe that this era of the sport is on par with the 70's. Bless them for they just don't know.
