Hoppertunity crushes this field.

Will a win by Easter Gift seal the Eclipse Award for Chad Brown? He lacks a dirt Grade I on the year but really is the only trainer with Eclipse credentials besides Baffert, who had the same number of Grade I wins.

Pletcher had the most Grade I wins, but with the group of horses he's given each year and his complete lack of success in the classics and BC, he can't possibly win. He also hasn't won a Grade I with an older horse (3YO and Up) not named Stopchargingmaria since Palace Malice in the Met Mile.

Hoppertunity is the Carlos Boozer of 3-year-olds.

Very pleased to watch Davey Carroll get his first GSW since Acoma's successes in '10. Strike Charmer is a slow-developing type that looks like she may have upside yet as a 5yo if Don Adam doesn't add her to his broodmare band. Daughter of Pebbles winner Cat Charmer (Mott), whose career ended early at 3, is eerily similar to her dam in style and arc.
