The connections should be applauded for a well run campaign. Winning 1.3 and not beating good horses is a hell of an accomplishment.

That's ridiculous. I could say the same thing about practically every good 3 year old. Who did Barbaro ever beat before the Derby?
Giacomo, on the other hand, beat some good horses in the Ky Derby. Does that prove that Gicaomo is a great horse? Not al all. He beat some great horses in the Derby but none of those horses ran their best that day. It's not who you beat. It's how you do it. You'd never make it as a bloodstock agent if you were constantly asking who a horse beat. Yuo won't be very successful as a bettor either. If you can't pick out a good horse until he beats a great horse in a fast time, you'll end up betting on nothing but 3-5 shots.
