I mean its not like he ran horrible in the Preakness or Belmont. And one can argue that he didnt get the best of rides (timing wise) in either race.
I'm not a huge fan of MTB but I think hes backed up his Derby win with at the very least some very competitive efforts and shown that he really does have a nice late kick.
Is he the worst play in the world given the fact that QR has run only once since March, and that was in a sprint?

i agree, how is that dumb money? QR at some ridiculous short price is the dumb money! did anyone see dirge yesterday? bet low, up the track, one race in like 2 years or something. next race, bafferts horse, under serviced, second choice , up the track. no races since november! saratoga is not exactly the place to try and "comeback", the waters are very deep! QR looked great at 6 1/2 but now hes going to stretch out with one race in 6 months. he will almost surely be a short price. shorter than it should be! its obvious he has problems too. i would not be calling myself a genius with a bet like that !
