Gonna make this a two part rundown and will start with the circus tenent.
The circus tenent is multifaceted. It starts with the fact that Always Dreaming is a very fast horse in the right circumstances. One of those circumstances is compromised speed. Obviously another is advantaged "pace" on a favorable surface. In regard to the surface and competition, Always Dreaming has had good draws for 3 races.
Before we get to the Derby, lets go back to the Florida Derby. In that race, it is more than fair to say that No one knows what kind of race Always Dreaming ran that day, other than to say pace advantaged Always Dreaming kept close and drew off, which is how he rolls. But the reason nobody knows what kind of race Always Dreaming ran that day is because there were no Dirt Races to evaluate the track upon. It was the Florida Derby and 13 Grass Heats. Now that's an exaggeration, but it is not that far off.
Of some significance is that the first race was a 4^ NW2X. "So What" you say! Come a time a horse is 4YO is there still eternal optimism? Well on Florida Derby Day there was! That first race conditional allowance horse set a track record. Later, Always Dreaming shadowed, drew off and beat the renowned but throttled down speed popper State of Honor. The choke hold that day was epic. You say, "But what about the Derby funny man!" Review that 1st race and review that day, its part of the circus tenent.
Later, I'll take the base tenent, add some quickness, anecdote, logic and projection, mix it around and pour it out of the bag as the completed circus tenent and from under it reveal some horse plays and horse noplays in the new Tiered Format! Not trying to build drama, just not ready quite yet. Coffee is an ingredient still have to add.
