How he would have done in the Travers or Super Derby is up for debate. I do know that lone speed is dangerous and I would have loved to have seen how it would have played out. I would have loved his chances. Also, nobody is saying that those fields he beat in the Ohio Derby and Haskell were anything special. But how were they worse than what Easy Goer was beating in the Gotham and Wood (Diamond Donnie, Rock Point, and Triple Buck) or what Sunday Silence was beating in the Super Derby and at Santa Anita (Big Earl and that same Music Merci)?

Nobody and I mean nobody was beating SUNDAY SILENCE in that Santa Anita Derby.

I think Music Merci got within 13 lengths at least.

But he was only within 2 lengths of King Glorious in New Jersey.

But it was a measured win by SS but I'm sure in his deathbed The Bald Eagle regrets missing out on The Ohio Derby
