I think Biancone would have already tried him on the turf if he thought he was able to be a better horse on that surface. Perhaps he experimented with him in a workout and it didnt pan out. Fact is he is just not that great of a horse. If he was he would have pulled away from Spooky Mulder and been able to hold off Around the Cape. He did neither.

Going back 25 years, I'd say the most underrated horse was Slew O Gold. SoG was a monster; he swept the NYRA major fall handicap races two years in a row. He came within a whisker or two of taking the BC Classic on a bad foot, he developed a little too late to take the Derby and Preakness, although I believe he was far more talented than Sunny's Halo and whoever won the Preakness (Deputed Testamony maybe?). The BC Classic has had some epic duels but the first one was as good as any.
