I was there for all of them.
They were foolishly rating Unbridled Song until the Florida Derby. After he lost those races, I asked a trainer who shall remain nameless if he had any idea why US wasn't winning, and he said "I wouldn't tell another trainer how to train his horses, but Wayne Lukas won a lot of big races sending speed horses to the lead."
