The hype on Top Billing has gone overboard

[Coup Verville]

I am just wondering...I am still fairly new to the game, but I always read about respecting a horse who makes a middle move and goes against a track bias. From what I saw, it seems that TB did just that. Now, when I come on here to see what people are saying about him, it seems as though people are not that impressed. Did I miss something or is there something I need to realize when I watch the replay? I am trying to learn what to look for in these prep races.
