All the good racing this weekend and THIS is the ROTW? Sounds to me like Thorograph is still trying to get out from under all the glomming they did on High Limit during the Triple Crown campaign. It's time to admit this year's Louisiana Derby was WAY over-rated by Thorograph. To wit: Vicarage and Wall Street Scandal couldn't be found in their next starts (Vicarage went to further humiliation - lengths clear in the Derby Trial a quarter out and still hit the wall); Storm Surge yet to win out of that race. I don't think ANY horse has come out of the 2005 LA Derby and won anything significant.
High Limit is ordinary, and his TG figures are way out of sync with what he's actually accomplished on the racetrack. He's TG's new Brancusi. Remember him? He was seriously hyped as a strong Derby contender too by TG that year, despite having accomplishments WAY below par. And like High Limit, he finished last in the Derby too.
