Perhaps Cairo Prince ran the race he really was supposed to, and has been massively overhyped from day one.

I don't see it likely he's a legit Derby threat.

If he ran in the Fountain of Youth, and then had that same flat performance yesterday I think most of us would agree with that sentiment. Asking someone to go 1 1/8 off a layoff since January is asking a lot IMO. I just think 2nd-off the shelf he has every chance to improve.

wasn't he like 4/5 going onto yesterday with his only loss being by a head to honor code I think? I agree that he had some hype to him but compared to others in the mix he was far from being a paper champion

The remsen was ugly and honor code hasn't done much since then.

He hasn't beaten much of anything and there are several in this crop that are clearly better than him.

On the plus side, he does strike me as a type of horse that can easily improve with age, but for his chances in the derby? He will need much to go perfectly his way to win, and that is including things before the race even happens.
