Then again, there will be good turf horses here again so..I don't know.
I don't know why he flopped in the Hollywood Gold Cup. Maybe he was just tired. lol.

I thought he sucked in the Derby, too.
Unless you think that Mike Smith whipping and driving past the wire while everyone else was easing up on their mounts constitutes a great finish...
In the Belmont he basically followed the good horses around the track without making much of a move or ever reaching contention. Which brings up another point aside from the distance question...he's simply not good enough.
