What makes you say Frosted was the best horse on Derby Day? Because he was closing fast?
If that's the case, my answer would be to say if he was 12-13 out of it early and only made up 8 in the end that doesn't make him the best horse. And the extra 1/4 mile in the Belmont usually hurts, not helps, the closers.
To my eye, in both the Derby and the Preakness, AP was the best horse. And he won.
