It was already obvious that trips matter (look at the winner). I guess those who kept saying Lookin at 'Sucky' was a terrible horse and also said that his bad trips were perfect trips have nothing to say.

The other already obvious thing was that Super Saver is a one track wonder.

Hmmm, maybe you should replace "we learn" with "I learn"? Agree with you on Lucky. The people saying he made his own trouble, as if it would therefore continue, have been proven wrong. On the other hand, he did not exactly demolish this field. On the other other hand, he is very tough in the stretch.

Super Saver may or may not be a "one track wonder". Maybe he is a wet track wonder. Or maybe two weeks wasn't enough for him, my usual stance on turnaround time notwithstanding.

Most likely conclusion: this is a mediocre class of 3-yr-olds, and any one of several might turn up his game in any given race enough to win it.
