Gato Del Sol always has the reputation as "one of the worst" Derby winners in the last few decades. Although that is probably fair, it sometimes overshadows the fact that he was still a competitive G1-caliber horse at age 5 on both the turf and the dirt, holding his own with tough horses like Interco and John Henry.
He was a tough old boy.
