In Beyer's post-Derby article on washingtonpost.com, he ranks MTB's win right up there with Canonero II's win in the '71 Derby as the most "mystifying" result that he has seen in a major stakes race.
He didn't mention anything about 'altitude' in the article, but it is interesting to note that this Canonero beast also prepped for the Derby at altitude in Venezuela.
