I'm definitely not a good handicapper, but even I saw that it came down to two horses; Premium Tap & Ball Four so I do think these claims of the surface being un-cappable is a bit premature.

I assume the Beyers must have painted a different story considering the odds but on the equibase figures Ball Four looked very competitive in that field.
