He won the Derby from Post 20

And all his wins are blow outs.

I was kidding with the slow 3yo stuff. He's obviously a nice horse but he'd certainly be incredibly slow for a Triple Crown winner and should never be mentioned in the debates of great horses unless he throws up a monster performance in the Belmont. Yet he will just cause of so many people with no idea of what speed figures represent and a total lack of knowledge for how much faster horses have been in every other crop.
