I think in his case it has more to do with the whole under-seasoned horse, for a shady trainer....

The Derby is a race that makes too many people try and be too clever. While the best horse doesn't always win....and in some cases...like with Holy Bull...they even run in the tank....but, Curlin is "the best horse"...and the best horse should rarely be so easily dismissed...imo anyway.
