no one had that horse. not one handicapper in the media gave this horse anything other than 'no chance'.
now, if you want to think his performance is the start of a great thing, i can't argue with that. maybe he's an emerging three year old. or maybe he's not. i'm thinking at this point he's not. we shall see.

Hindsight is 20/20? Yeah I know. I know absolutely no one paid attention to him before the race, and why should they? His last 3 races he was a victim of peculiar rides nicely stated...Regardless, I am not saying this may be the start of something great...I am of the view that the derby which featured a final sub 24 last split is more real than fluke or atleast I am not going to summarily dismiss him this time around.
