People beat up Giacomo about his Derby win for 1 reason, THEY DIDN'T WIN with him on Derby Day. I am not redboarding because I posted on the ESPN website before the Derby that I liked Giacomo in the race and I also spoke with a couple posters in private conversation that I loved him. I studied the PP's for the race and concluded that with all the early speed (Bellamy Road, Spanish Chestnut, etc...)in the race, that the leaders would fall apart coming down the stretch and a deep closer would win the race. The last time I checked, that was called HANDICAPPING. It just seems to me that those that handicapped the Derby incorrectly feel justified in calling him a "fluke" or other names of sort.
