I don't think soundness issues had anything to do with SS beating him.

He was a super horse, who wasn't quite able to crack the tactically gifted (and also great) Sunday Silence. I also believe EG was the more impressive of the two horses, it just wasn't apperant when they met up.
In all fairness, the Derby was a muddy track and the Preakness was a Pat Day horror show of the highest order.

And he tried to duck into the gap..and ran in spots in the Classic.

He didn't look like an easy horse to ride....and certainly wasn't fond of the off-tracks at CD.
