Can we talk about Orb?

Maybe they lost money on whatever horse, who knows.

I just wanted to ask, since we have some time to look back with more context, what do you think of Orb as a racehorse now? Are you any more or less impressed with him in retrospect than you were at the time he was running? Have you always been 'meh'? Just any thoughts in general.

He was ok. Probably should have won the Travers with a dream trip under the underrated Lezcano.
