This is so wrong it's almost camp.
He is 1 for 2 as a deep closer, and the one he lost was a second by a short margin in the most important 3 year old race in America in which he beat 18 horses! That's a GOOD record as a deep closer. He also ran 2 of the biggest Beyers of his life in those races.
And the Santa Anita Derby win proved he loved the slop. He moved way up on it. "Runaway leader"? How come Mor Spirit or any of the other horses didn't beat him? He WON that race. Not only that, he CRUSHED the field. Saying that race "doesn't prove anything", when came back to run a great race in Louisville, is ridiculous.
