I don't get the bashing either. Every year they run the Derby and one horse wins. On that day, whatever the trip he and others got, he was the best. End of story. I guess people can say he's the worst Derby winner of the past 25 years based on their own "expertise", that's their opinion and that's fine. I'm just glad to see horses like him and Funny Cide still racing.
