I don't get all the negative comments about this horse. In a fair race, which the Derby will be with a large field, he has a good a shot as any; probably better than most.

Dunkirk's 2nd in the Florida Derby was probably the 2nd best 3yo derby prep at >8.5furlongs on PAPER(to Quality Road).
Arguably the
best effort on video when including trip dynamics.
Good enough to easily beat the field Big Brown beat in '08
yet it's a negative
the only thing somewhat bad is that Dunkirk flattened a little in the final 1/16th
