I love it when people want to just read a post, they know the context it was used, but reply as if they dont. Its pretty obvious compared to the 5k claimer at River Downs he is exceptional, duh....but he is average historically compared to others with similar accomplishments. I would take it a step further and say he is average compared to the best horses in his generation, that would be horses like Zenyatta and Rachael Alexandra.

fine.. he is an average Kentucky Derby winner
... and its half way through the 3yo season so he may turn out to be a top quality Kentucky Derby winner or just stay average.
While I think Rachel is a MUCH better racehorse... I'll wait til they run against each other a few more times to make up my mind.. there was only a length seperating them at the finish (though Rachel's trip was MUCH more taxing).
And while Zenyatta may be better than both.. I will not say that because she runs against chicken $hit every race and it cant be determined until she faces better competition.
