Any ****in way you spin this, and the primary one is that the horse is SLOW, still doesn't account for the fact that the horse RAN 2nd. Doesn't matter who was in the race because these claims were made when IWR was still in the race---which means that POTN, AT WORST, runs 3rd.
For those whose handicapping is not driven by BEYERS and who basically have a clue when it comes to evaluating horses, they missed the mark. The horse is nothing special but he's not the rat they make him out to be.
And, P.S. those who don't bet POLY on a regular basis really shouldn't be commenting about it under the guise of experts.
Gimme a ****in break already.

fat man if the stewards had done their job, POTN would have been placed fourth - as much as some on here talk about cheating by trainers , there needs to be more attention to what the stewards are doing and why they are doing it , regardless if coa or papa's jock claimed foul the stewards should have taken the horse down no ands or if's about it
the public was given virtually no reason why this didn't happen , i don't even remember nbc mentioning it once, just a travesty to anyone who had MM for place of had him in the 2nd spot for the exacta's
