I woudn't consider a horse who consistently ran the highest figures at the distance in the field while winning by 15 and 5 lengths geared down to be over-hyped. I don't care if he beat a pack of mules, those were solid races. The only other Derby contenders I'd place above him are Lawyer Ron and Brother David. Keyed Entry was favored over him in the Gotham at his own home track based on one race. That doesn't sound like an over-hyped horse to me.
I don't know how people can hold a race where he had to be vanned off after banging his leg up leaving the gate against him. Watch the replay and you'll see he was striding like a hurting horse every time he tried to extend himself.
I knew this was a top horse before the so-called hype began and will be formidable in the Wood, though Sweetnorthernsaint and Keyed Entry will be a stern test.
