Its very likely his wicked fast Gulfstream win was aided by the wackiness of that surface wet. Never believed he nor First Samurai were of top Derby material. They can surprise you sometimes as Barbaro did in the Florida Derby, but sometimes they run true to form too.
Not sure I can share your contention about the 2nd place horse. He gained multiple lengths upon Bob and John too. Jazil did save all the ground and he reserved himself early but he was exploding late. Will another 1/8th be enough to reverse on Bob and John? Not sure, maybe. They both are bred very similarly and very nicely for the trip.
