POTN ended up being my 3rd selection in the paper here - mostly because he's honest and figured to possibly be almost as good on dirt as his mediocre synthetic form - even though he ran 2nd in the Derby I see nothing about his race that was "damn good"
Dunkirk and Freisan Fire - two horses I've spent a lot of time knocking the lst few weeks both ran too bad to be true - their races didn't prove anything.

I'd like to know what the definition of damn good is ? Rachel Alexander's performance in the Oaks? If so that is an unfair comparison wouldn't you agree? No horse horse was going to look good after that. I'm not here to pick sides whether the pro POTN crowd was correct or the anti POTN crowd was correct. There seems to be alot of semantics flowing around, POTN didn't flop as many thought he would, nor did he run like a triple crown champion as others might want us to believe. The truth as always lies somewhere in between.
