What was wrong with Bellamy Road? He was an extremely talented colt. He happened to be plagued with injuries ... is that his fault?

Nothing wrong with him. This is a perfect example of history repeating itself. Bellamy Road romped in a Derby prep and was proclaimed "the next super horse." He turned out to be a short-priced flop as the Derby favorite in his 4th start. I'll be betting others for the win in the Derby.

He actually ran pretty good in the Derby considering the circumstances he was under.

My issue with the previous post was the reference "Horse crap Big Brown." No shame being compared to Bellamy Road IMO.

Not to nitpick, but the Derby was Bellamy Road's 6th start. In addition to his maiden win, he ran 2 route races as a 2-year-old in stakes. Compared to a lot of horses nowadays, he didn't have a bad foundation.
