I can't comment on the race on Saturday, because I did not see it, but the Derby was a complete fluke and beyond that he's only won a maiden, that's a terrible representative for a Derby winner. I hope he goes on and wins something else, because at least people would not have a reason to rip on him. I feel that the Derby was a joke last year, because a lucky horse won, sure there's been other horses that have received lucky trips and won, but at least they were something other than a maiden winner. That's why I hope he keeps winning, so he can at least justify that Derby...

Mwind...I respect your point of view, but is that the reason you consider his win last year a fluke, because he had only won a maiden race?

Yes, in my mind you have to do better than win a maiden to be considered a legitimate Derby Winner. I hope he goes on and wins more races, I didn't see the race Saturday, but it sounds like mixed reviews, but he did win a G2 off of a layoff, that's not bad at all. Maybe, he'll get better with age and be a good horse, I wouldn't have a problem with that...
