It won only because it was being chased by the sweetly dispositioned southern horses.
Winning by running for one's life isn't really winning at all.

In all fairness, it was a well-deserved win. That horse at one point wasn't even expected to live. He recovered and was trained by an unknown up in Pennsylvania. Won his first race with a jockey who was an unknown too, and has never lost a race. Maybe he will be the first triple crown winner since Seattle Slew. That'd be really cool since Seattle Slew was the winner the last time I was at the Derby.

At least it wasn't owned by some wealthy Arab this time around.
