Sometimes good horses get perfect trips. That doesn't mean they aren't good.
Even if a horse gets a perfect trip, it still has to have enough ability to take advantage of it. There were other good horses in the Derby that got the same good setup that finished behind him.
The real question for me was whether he would continue moving forward or whether the other 3yos would move past him. He seems to be inching forward, but I think Epicenter and Taiba are moving forward faster.
