It's always easier to say that after the fact. The runner up didn't really look like he belonged after his last 2 either. Would you have excluded him also?

You have an opinion, but when questioned on what should be done, you took the easy way out. Typical.

Why even run the race if we're going to start excluding horses based on Barry Irwin's opinion? I'm sure there were a lot of people who thought Animal Kingdom didn't belong in the Derby in April.

It was a cheap shot by Irwin because of who owned and trained the horse. Replace Saratoga Red for Isn't He Perfect, and I doubt Irwin would have made the same comment.
