i'm talking about one of these on the cusp of the derby horses, who CAN'T run, but comes out and kicks butt over the derby runners later, or over the winner--er, this would have to be ancient history, derby winners don't tend to run past june anymore!
Sorry, I didn't think your question asked for who ended up being the best of the crop, but what horse got left out of the Derby and ended up being one of the nicer horses in the crop. (defeating the 'stars')
