Overrated? Wow I guess you didn't see last years Travers. Off a 100+ day layoff going 10f and losing to a very good horse in Flower Alley. This horse has immense talent and its good to see him near his comeback I think at Calder soon.

I actually think this horse is truly the goods, but he will be viewed by the American public as overrated until he comes back and proves that he is a legit Gr. I performer....I guarantee you that the connections of Flower Alley and Invasor and other top handicap horses on the East coast DO NOT want to see him back at the races....

BINGO, Joel. This horse has immense talent.

I couldn't agree with you all more...I just hope that they can keep him sound.

bellamy road turned in one bad performance, on derby day, and that makes him overrated? a lot of top horses have bad days, BR was just unlucky enough to do it in front of a nationwide audience....his average winning margin to that point was double digit lengths! and then as mentioned, his fantastic run in the travers. he's got a lot of talent, i'm happy to see him back working and am eager to see him return to the races. c'mon playa, he got a lot of hype....but it's not HIS fault! don't hold it against him...

Off topic, but I'm too lazy to start another thread...

Why is Flashy Bull working on the turf? Do they do that randomly?

The reason for that performance was an injury sustained during the race also. This horse will impress many if he stays sound.
