Both were the dominant 3yo in California leading up to the TC. Pioneer, did somewhat validate himself with a second in the Derby. So did Colonel John with a win in the Travers. If your opinion of him/them were that they were the best 3yo in California, I don't see how they are overrated. If your opinion of him was that he was a top five 3yo nationally, then maybe you have a point.
