There’s some preposterous crap on the Internet, but this may be the all-time dumbest.

Justify was only eligible to beat the winners of the G1’s between juvenile season and the Triple Crown..

Hopeful - Sporting Chance
Champagne - Firenze Fire
DMR Futurity - Bolt d’Oro
Breeders Futurity - Free Drop Billy
Los Al Futurity - McKinzie (Solomini-DQ'd)
AmPharoah/FrontRunner - Bolt d'Oro
BC Juvenile - Good Magic
BC Juvenile Turf - Mendelssohn
Florida Derby - Audible
Arkansas Derby - Magnum Moon

HE BEAT EVERY ONE OF THEM EXCEPT McKINZIE.. WHOM HE COULDN’T FACE.

There weren’t any other G1 winners that he could run against. WTF?
