My thoughts exactly when anyone "extols" the virtues of Dickinson.

How about tied for the worst Wood winner with... Tapit vs Buddha..one and out

I can't believe no one has mentioned Bellamy Road. Biggest bias/weather induced win in my history of life. A close second is the great Sinister Minister

Bellamy Road is light years from being the worst horse to ever win the Wood.

Sinister Minister's Blue Grass win was also FAR more bias induced.

And what great act of nature caused his unbelievable second place finish in the Travers off a virtual four month layoff?

Greatest training job ever is what that was, imo

Repent basically did the same thing - running a strong 2nd beaten a neck or so to Medeglia D' Oro - and I believe only had two published works in between the ILL Derby and Travers.

I laughed.

To compare an excellent horse like Bellamy Road to a complete fluke like SM is crazy. Bellamy Road actually ran very well in the Derby.

bellamy road had excellent races both before and after the wood, it's not as tho he was a one hit wonder.

He was until the end of his career. There was a switch, and the horse never races for the new ridiculous trainer.
