I don't. I didn't like any of those three to win anyway. I was always going with Friesan Fire and Pioneerof the Nile had worked his way up to my second choice with Musket Man third.
In today's game, the old standards that horses needed to reach have changed. Barbaro changed the recent race rules. Street Sense changed the BC Juvenile and three races at three rules. I'm sure Big Brown changed a couple more. People say if Pioneer was so well thought of, why wasn't he started on the dirt. Why was Big Brown started on grass and entered for grass for his second race also? There's not a single grade one dirt winner in this field so why couldn't Dunkirk win his first? This field has become so wide open that I don't think you can throw out any horse with 100% certainty.
