I wasn't just talking about his Derby wins...most of his Graded Stakes win there have as well.

I'mawildandcrazyguy was nipped for 3rd by Curlin in that race. Almost all Ky Derby's fall apart to some extent.

That has more to do with distance than pace.

No it doesn't. It has more to do with field size and pace than distance.

You have merry-go-round years when the riders all want to rate - War Emblem over Proud Citizen for instance.

That was a pretty strong pace... the other 3 horses on the lead after the 1/2 mile call finished last, 2nd to last, and 3rd to last. Those two were just far superior. The 3rd, 5th, and 6th finishers came from far back and Limehouse ran a remarkable race to be 4th beaten 8.
