The Excelsior definitely should be downgraded, Take an decent meet and you can find classified allowances tougher than today's Excelsior.
As for War Pass, I thought he ran a terrific race. I hated him going into the race but to battle thru that insane pace and barely get beat is impressive.....reminiscent of Silver Charm in the 1997 Santa Anita Derby. No excuse at all for Court Vision who had the pace to run at and still couldn't get it done.
