I think this plays into that larger idea that horseplayers are so jaded and cynical, that a good thing truly isn't. War Pass could win the Derby by 10 and people would still find fault.
Horseplayers... they're never happy.

Funny.. I felt the same way in '06 when there seemed to be a significant contingent of DT posters that refused to give Bernardini credit for anything he did.
War Pass is a very nice horse.
I think that he's a bit overrated and that he won't win the Derby.
If that makes me jaded and cynical, then.. I don't know.
