A slop track can be chaos.
Count the number of X's...sure, part of that was pace but many did not fire.
Initially believing the inside was good on the Derby Race, not near as convinced of that now. Path 2-3 maybe, but can't be sure.
Regarding Instilled Regard, it was clear Hollendorfer believed he was going to put it together. 4's were no good. The Post was not good. The slop didn't appear to be good. Getting blown up at the start and finding trouble were no good, but the horse did show something. If you watch the race and factor all the horse overcame, its clear that was his best career race.
As pertains to other years, you've complied notable evidence, but the change in medication oversight tends to wave a red flag. Not really sure. Only available time is to consider this year.
