Maybe the fact you feel cheated has to due with the lack of triple crown chatter. Usually there is so much talk/hype after the derby about the winner possibly being "the horse". But after this result no one has mentioned the words Triple Crown. Let alone the exciting summer races down the road.
After all the medicore talk about last years crop, we all thought that this years was going to be head and shoulders better. But guess what. Obiviously we lost the front runners to injury. Most of what was left didn't lift a hoof in the race for various reasons/excuses. And we are left with an unlikely winner who might not even go to Pimlico.
So much for TC fever this year. Maybe that's why some of you feel cheated. Makes you kind of miss the exciement that surrounded Big Brown.
