While that is the truth, put that in perspective of this trainer's style. He points to big races... can this be disputed? This is what he did when he won the derby and the travers and the BC classic. Isolated tops are his trademark, this is not TAP or Frankel. I'd give SS at least a 20% chance of running a negative # with a clean trip. It's not like he came back this year looking like First Samarai, neither of his races were easy.
