O'neil's horses were bombs for a reason, and likely would have finished up the track no matter where they ran their final workouts. Great Hunter had a horrible post and Liquidity just didn't belong in the race.

Street Sense, Hard Spun and Curlin were the favorites to win the derby based on talent alone and likely would have performed well no matter what surface they did their final work on.

The guy felt he made a mistake, and in retrospect he obviously did, as did anyone putting in a final work over the polytrack. Jim, whether you felt they had a chance or not Mr Oneill thought he made a mistake. Im sure most guys who didnt put in their final work over CHD are now second guessing themselves.
