I also saw someone here hit the wrong number when punching the ticket and fell into the pick 3. That's awesome. That's all great and I'm happy for anyone that scored out on an impossible race like that.
But to come here after the race and claim he was not only playable, but had a better shot than Dunkirk? Come on....

No kidding....It is like the perfect storm....you get everyone's takes before the race and then hear nothing from them after and then you hear people claiming victory after who you never heard from before....I posted a lot about Pioneer of the Nile before the Derby and I will be the first to say that while I he did get second and run well, I was wrong because he didnt improve much at all and got an awesome trip....
My personal favorite is people coming up with angles that fit and explain MTB but not realizing those angles could have fit 10 other horses......
As far as MTB goes, nothing will convince me you could handicap him into the top 3....explanation wise, I think the fact that this was his first race to relax and make one run could be the culprit or the sloppy track or both!
