14, 20 or 100 horses -- I don't think Rose was bright enough to give Afleet Alex the ride he needed to win that Derby.

Obviously.

Or KD on RQ in the Belmont.

OR GS on PG in the Derby.

Rose gets far too much criticism for that Derby ride. He had other rides on Afleet Alex that were worse (BC Juvenile).

Heh. I think Rose would have agreed with you as I remember his interview after the Belmont where he was just beating himself up for the Derby.
