Good horses don't bounce ( and I don't think mediocre ones do either ).

No,I am not necessarily talking about a big bounce.What I am saying is that the winner of this last B.C. Juvenile would appear to have been ready to give his peak 2 year old performance on B.C. Day. I think John Sheriffs also had Giacomo read for his peak 3 year old performance on Derby Day.Barbaro the same.They all were ready to peak on that day.I just think that sometimes that may be the reason why Pletcher hasn't been dominant on Derby day,and on this last Breeders Cup Day(the horses don't peak on those days.....they peak in other races..on other days.)Dreaming of Anna ran probably (for her) just an o.k. race on B.C. Day.She (most likely) could have been upset if one of those fillies had peaked like Street did in the Juvenile.
