It gets very hard for me to say that Alex should have won the Derby when I felt that Closing Argument ran a harder and tougher race than he did. Same thing with Silver Charm. Baffert and SC's fans talk about his heart and say that if he could have seen Touch Gold coming to him, he would have fought him off. That may be true........but what about the fact that SC shouldn't even have been going for the sweep because Touch Gold was far superior to him in the Preakness but had a nightmare of a trip that day?
