He plugged along for third in a historically terrible Derby run over a quagmire where he got a spectacular pace setup. His dirt ability was exposed in Maryland and I can't see why that was a fluke.
So we agree that he is impossible on dirt, and you just give him more credit then I do on turf. Fair enough. Im wrong a lot with these types, like Gio Ponti I have lost a lot trying to beat POP. Last summer at Toga when someone on DT told me he was a lock, I lost a lot of $ chasing him. Maybe thats why I hate him and Im being stubburn.
