Please the horse had a perfect trip into a decent pace and is hardily a star. His own trainer wouldnt have pick him vs. Tobys Corner. He ran well..He has done enough, his 15 minutes of fame are over!

This just sounds like bitterness. The pace wasn't decent, it was quite slow, plenty of other horses had similar or better trips and didn't explode in the stretch like AK did. Johnny barely even had to do any work on him. How do you know if he's 'hardly a star'? This was his first race on dirt, so no one knows how good he'll be yet. To me, this has the potential to be another example of synthetic surfaces making a very good horse look very mediocre.
