Wait a minute.

Tapitsfly was extremely impressive today, regardless of anything else--you can say she got the right set up on the right turf surface, but she still has to go out there and run a highly superior race--it just doesn't happen automatically. This is a factor that is somehow frequently overlooked even by those who should know better.

And the horse beat 31+ lengths in the Derby had no business being there, as we all said at the time, including you, because he is a stone sprinter. I was amazed how he so readily overcame the idiocy of his connections in pushing him into the Derby. He just seemed to shrug it off and was not "ruined" as some feared.

So, chill.
