That’s actually a pretty good one. I feel like a big part of his reputation was because physically he was so big. Never really lived up to the hype.

Completely agree. Not only big but beautiful and perfect.

So much more was assumed I think just because of that.

I think I forgot about what he did after the Triple Crown. Malibu, Strub, Big Cap was pretty strong

No doubt. But to me overrated can also mean not living up to expectations.

He only started 11 times.

I was in CA at the time and he was talked about as being a SUPER HORSE.

Need a much more extensive resume for that.
