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.

Apparently you aren't understanding the definition of a wise guy horse...Revisionist history doesn't help your argument. 50-1 doesn't make a wise guy horse ever. Someone will always make a case for all 20 horses in a field. It doesn't mean anything. Buzz creates wise guy horses. And Giacomo had the buzz of crickets....some said include in a super. And that's that.
