forget Summer Bird for a minute. Who Was Better Dunkirk or Mine That Bird?

I was anti-Dunkirk until yesterday. That colt showed some moxie.

Dunkirk.

The Florida Derby in my opinion was still the most impressive prep going into the Derby - it would have been very interesting had Dunkirk taken control out of the gate like he did yesterday.

Dunkirk was better because he was 2nd. Considering the hype he has recieved the past few months he is nothing more than an expensive turd sandwich.

I'm with you on this one Coach. Dunkirk has gotten incredible media support, benefitted from more excuses for failure to finish and still is getting the benefit of the doubt for Silver medal performances. Quality Road stole his heart that day in the Florida Derby and he has yet to respond by winning a subsequent race. The bias written about in DRF may explain Dunkirk's second wind and/or MTB's lack of a sustained effort going wide in the 4 path Saturday.
