With some trepidation I suggest that we can add Giacomo and his connections and backers to the winners list.
Relative to the way this horse was brutalized by handicappers of all stripes after the Derby, his show effort in the Preakness has to be considered a quasi-vindication.
At a bare minimum, surely we must agree that he "belongs" with the good runners of his generation and that the Derby was not the fluke of the century.
