Dehere was an exceptional 2YO who unfortunately didn't get much chance as a 3YO. His win in the Fountain of Youth was tainted somewhat by Holy Bull displacing but he was a good horse. I think he was more of a closing sprinter in reality. His wins at Saratoga were some of the most visually impressive races I have ever seen.
To be fair, his loss to Holy Bull in the Futurity ( and I bet Holy Bull that day ) was as much the result of Holy Bull being loose on a sloppy speed track as anything. I loved Holy Bull but as 2YOs it's hard to say he was a better horse than Dehere.
