But why would you push AP if it wasn't needed? He got him in front, gave him a rest and still won easily on a track that was anything but fast with the amount of rain dropped on it. Slew ran a horrible time in his Belmont on a slop track but no one mentions it because he completed the triple crown. If AP wins running away in New York then he's earned the TC.
