Holy Bull prevailed in the Travers, Fla Derby and Blue Grass but overall, won less premier races. Holy Bull's 12th in the Derby resulted in him passing the final 2 legs of the TC. His one off the board finish resulted from injury in his final race so can't hold that against him. unfortunate that he couldn't continue his 4yo season, may have been ranked higher with an impressive finish to his career.

It was not really a mystery. Stevens fu#ked it all up.

Its really a shame, because of all the close ones I think he was most deserving. He won The Preakness for fun and destroyed the Belmont.

Yeah, I agree but Smarty Jones and Risen Star would be right there as well. I personally feel that had his connections not been morons, Star would have easily won the TC.
