So on AP's lack of speed, I went back and found this, interesting . . .

Private clocker and bloodstock agent Gary Young told Churchill Downs' communications department he's been in those businesses 35 years, "and (American Pharoah) might be the best horse I've ever seen. He's simply like Michael Jordan and stays in the air like he did in his rookie year. He stays in the air longer than any horse and you get the feeling that there's not one gear left, but he may have two, three or four gears."

Could be he just uses enough of that "speed" to win, ya think maybe? That said, he may need overdrive to win on June 6 . . . let's hope he has that gear left.

Sorry, I just don't think the connections deserve it. I like to root for the type of trainers like Michael Matz, Bill Mott, Art Sherman, Richard Mandella, John Servis' of the industry.
