Not Baffert's fault by any means. With the Southwest being pushed back, OP was always up against it in terms of filling the Rebel field.
American Pharaoh is a wildly hyped horse who has gotten a ton of mileage out of a wire-to-wire win where he set an incredibly slow pace then a series of workouts. Yes, the also-rans from his last start came back to perform well, but they were the compromised ones.
Perhaps I'm overly critical and still smarting a bit from Dortmund's cupcake trip a week ago. One of these days they will face even a modicum of adversity in a race.
