Yep.

And this is not a "most overhyped" list. I think it would take me weeks instead of minutes to think up a most overhyped list with all the overhyped horses I've witnessed.

These 5 are horses that really seemed to have something special ability wise - and just badly fell off the path to greatness.

Unbridled's Song for the sire he became and for his race in the BC Juvenile would be one that is near the top of my list.

UBS was certainly a great talent ... though I thought his Florida Derby win was WAY better than his BC Juvie win.

He actually ran the highest figure of his career - in his final career start ... anyone remember who his trainer was for that race?

It kind of was ... that owner's had a lot of low profile more obscure type trainers than most big owners.
