And I totally agree with that. Before the Derby, I never once said he would improve. I only said that I didn't think it was automatic that he wouldn't like it and would regress. Now, I'm on the side of those that said he wouldn't like it. But there is a difference between not liking a surface and running bad and not showing up at all. A lot of horses prefer one surface over another but I don't think you go from being a grade one winner on one to not even being able to beat maidens on another.
