Some similarities. I don't think people really felt like this was the Prince and Baffert who brought the colt along to that point and definitely grumbled that they bought themselves a prospect/winner but the thing is, War Emblem was not the hottest prospect on 4 hooves at the time. He was still a 21-1 longshot. They bought themselves a Derby horse but not anything that was going to be 9-1 or better.
