He was basically viewed by many as the most likely horse to win the Derby coming into that years 3yo season.
He was a lightly raced horse with a strong closing 2nd to that years 2yo champion - while beating that years BC Juvenile winner in his final 2yo start.
He was five wide on both turns against a speed biased track and still ran a 98 Beyer in the Sham.
He was 2nd in the stakes record San Felipe run over an INSANELY fast track that was carrying speed.
And he was 4th in the merry-go-round like Santa Anita Derby that was a total slow early-fast late race shape.
