I'm not making him out to be an all time great or anything, but that horse did have some ability and was clearly not the same once they ran him hurt.
He won with perfect trips and didn't win when he didn't have every advantage. Very overrated.

When was he ever hyped up enough to be overrated? He was decent enough and thats all IC is saying.

He was the 7:2 favorite in the 2009 KY Derby. Unbelievable.

As overhyped as they come.

Like many of the Fair Grounds Derby Trail horses I always seem to attach myself to that never seem to do anything.

Don't forget, we are talking about the 2009 Derby here.

He was definitely unsound going into the race as well.
