Perhaps he's best of his class on synthetics. But when a horse runs a race that's obviously well below his par after being very consistent up til then.....they are just being silly. His Derby didn't validate his backers and this Preakness didn't validate his detractors.

And it's not at all possible that this sudden loss of consistancy is because he has finally run over a dry dirt track?

Pioneerof Denial is what he should have been named.
