I really think that we have a LOT of horses each year that are superstars but they get run into the ground because of improper rest... look at someone like Bellamy Road..the horse ran out of his mind (negative 5 or so) last year then ran like 30 days later in the derby.... same thing this year with bafferts horse Sinister Minister... that horse ran a neg 4.5... If any of these horses had at least 3 months rest i guarantee they come back to another number pretty close to what they ran and those numbers beat a horse like Bernardini... Bernardini has had the rest needed to keep improving.. I guarantee if Baffert trained Bernardini and won the preakness, he wouldve brought him out for the belmont stakes and destroyed the horses future..or maybe its just the owners who knows but the fact is that these horses need rest and its obvious they are not getting it after these monster numbers
