The horse was overhyped before the derby. No doubt about it.

Well he had a real hard year and I want to see this horse run next year as well. I dont want him to end up like Funny Cide or Flower Alley. There is no shame in by-passing certain races for easier spots in order to shoot for larger purses next year.
