We know just as much now as we did before the race, that Paynter is a talented developing colt and Union Rags is one of the better horses in this crop.
And IHA would have beat both if he had been in it.

IHA would have crushed these. Paynter ran well and should have won. I don't think the diehard Union Rags supporters should feel any sort of vindication for his Derby loss. He is no better than the third best 3yo this year.
