Well I mean, I guess its not appropriate to call a spade a spade anymore. Its really not. But I'm going to now:
Withers- 5 horse field in which 2nd and 3rd place Doc Cheney and Luxembourg have been soundly beaten in allowances since then, not one win between them. Gee swell.
Preakness- Barbaro breaks down, Brother Derek bangs his head in the gate and runs while bleeding and in pain and is rank. Sweet Saint runs like drunken tired sailor in the lane exhausted from a hard campaign and still hasn't run back yet. Third place horse is the "mighty hemingway's key. Gee swell!!!
Jim Dandy- Makes a loose crawling lead in the slop and once again defeats the mighty Key. Awesome dude.
Travers- Bluegrass fractures a leg, later said by jock he knew something wasn't right with him early on. Sets slow pace and beats 2nd place horse with fracture. gee swell.
JCGC- Beats a confirmed dime stopper in Wanderin, and a failed allowance horse in Andromeda. Another pedestrian pace, a VERY lackluster 2:01 on a fast track that yields an 8 flat 6F earlier on. One of the slowest runnings.
yawn.

Please show me the greatness. VERY GOOD yes, great no.
