Jim, I really doubt BB was a super horse. His times were not eye-popping in either of the first two races and he had the worst finish for a Kentucky Derby winner in the Belmont -- despite being the biggest favorite ever. And all of this against inferior competition. In the end, one has to wonder if BB wasn't just a product of steroids. Maybe yesterday's big flop will finally cause the racehorsing industry to outlaw steroids and other chemicals which may be providing skewered results.
