I mean, there are many ways the horse didn't run well, I suppose, but since he ran 2nd in the Derby, you were wrong. Nothing wrong with that as we're all wrong, more often than not. Whether the horse is good to your standards is really irrelevant. After all, you were very impressed by Imperial Council in the Gotham.
I'll stop pointing out the fact that the horse ran 2nd in the Derby just as soon as you (and your crew) stop pointing that he's not fast enough. The 1st part is a fact; the 2nd is irrelevant, given your initial claim.

He has now run once on a dry dirt track.....and finished 10th beaten a city block. As soon as I figure out that I was wrong I will let you know. Please stand by.
He lost the Derby by seven lengths. You are conveniently deciding that since no horse, save Mine That Bird, ran a step that day that he somehow ran well despite losing by a margin that rarely gets a finisher better than 6th ( or worse ).
Sorry if you don't like my logic. Tough sh it.
