That's not a real excuse for Dullhan though, IMO.

He was certain to get the dream pace setup -- obviously he got it.

The only thing I was really even hoping for is that he would get switched out for a clear run in the stretch. He got that.

His stretch kick was just VERY mediocre today. He turned out more like a Paddy O' Prado finish than an Animal Kingdom finish ... and that was always the fear.

The Romans barn continues to do well on big days with the home cooking at Churchill Downs. He won 3 Graded Stakes at CD this weekend and no other trainer got more than one.

Derby setup closers always have a terrible record in the rest of the triple crown races. Dullahan becomes a no-brainer toss for me in any big dirt races going forward.
