The hype on Top Billing has gone overboard

Did I miss something or is there something I need to realize when I watch the replay? I am trying to learn what to look for in these prep races.

I think Top Billing is a fine closer, just underlaid in every race because of his gigantic fanbase. Maybe he goes on to win his next start and the Derby, but I'm not touching a horse that I know people are attached to as much as Top Billing's fans are.

Mexikoma and Wicked Strong would be better ones to go with for value purposes.
