Derby, perfect trip on a sloppy track and he beats the great Musket Man and Pioneer of the nile.

Preakness, again its the jockey who cost him losing with a perfect setup and edging out Musket Man, who aint no quality road.

Belmont, has the lead at the top of the stretch and wilts, again its the jockey

WV, Gets a perfect trip chasing a collapsing horse and comes home in 14 2/5ths and loses but its that dang jockey again.

See a pattern here?

He is a decent horse, nothing less, nothing more. The trip at Mountaineer was not really what I would call an ideal trip. He moved WAY too soon.
