He started out like he was worth a lot more than what they paid for him. A debut win by over 12 in July at Belmont. A four month layoff where he has only one work before his comeback, and he beats Sunday Silence by a head. Then another almost four month layoff, where he comes back to beat Mr. Nickerson by over 10 in a stakes at AQU. Then the wheels fell off. Though, his derby race wasn't that bad, he was never the same after that race at AQU.

If I recall correctly... He broke his maiden in a 12 horse group, came to Saratoga and crushed an allowance group... Jerry rode him that day then took a helicopter to Monmouth to win the Haskell aboard Roman Ruler. He thought highly enough of him! Then he crushed Henny Hughes in the Hopeful. So IMO he had a lot going for him after those first 3 races then never panned out.

Did I say the correct horse? Im talking about Frank Brothers.... He got beat in the Gulfstream race, his 3yr old debut, Keyed Entry beat him. Then he got put up by DQ, Corinthian shifted in bad on him in another Gulfstream race, then he ran like **** at Keeneland, that was the day Sinister Minister freaked. If he was hurt or something no I did not know, but he was one of my favorites.

Much like Read the Footnotes and Second of June after their epic Fountain of Youth 2 years earlier, First Samurai and Keyed Entry were both never the same after that Hutcheson... Samurai came back in the Fountain of Youth a month later and was put up as the winner after Corinthean's mauling of him. Then in the Blue Grass, he was hit by the gate which broke 2 of his ribs. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...th-broken-ribs He was retired about 6 weeks later having won 5 of 8 career starts including the Fountain, Hopeful and Champagne, the 2nd in the Hutch and the 3rd behind Stevie Wonderboy/Henny Hughes in the BC Juvenile.

I don't understand why an injury= failure on some of the ones mentioned. Pulpit was a monster who according to you "disappointed" in winning the Bluegrass before an injury ended his career in running 4th in the Derby behind Silver Charm.
Tell me again why Empire Maker disappointed. The foot issue likely cost him the Derby, but that race was between a double digit length win in the Florida Derby and a Belmont win. That's not a failure. Injuries cost him a chance to prove what he may have ultimately been capable of doing, but again it's not a failure. Basically the list here is of great juveniles that didn't develop further or had careers interrupted by injuries....
