who i believe never won again after the derby.
no way i'd rank this horse fourth best after that fluke win. and until he backs it up, it is a fluke win.

One thing we do know, he can run on polytrack and he won for a 1 -23 trainer at some obscure track. It is strange, any way you cut it the 7 length victory was impressive if we divorce ourselves who the horse was.

not really. he's the only horse who ran. why? 18 horses stank on saturday, one didn't. the track was a quagmire. what else is there to say?

Maybe, however If Dunkirk had won by 7, I'm sure there would be more than one Triple Crown post on this board.

That's fair enough,there is a long way to go before the best of this generation is determined.Up to this point the two best colts to have "backed up" their performances are injured and because the win by MTB is a fluke then I would have to believe that everyone who ran in the Derby gets a free pass including the horses that ran to their previous figures.
