To think that just two short years ago, we had a seasoned 2 year old in Afleet Alex as the Kentucky Derby favorite. I don't believe that the problem is lack to talent in this year's crop, but, rather, lack of experience in order to try to evaluate the crop. For me, Street Sense won going away over the Churchill Track so he's the only horse that I'm taking very seriously right now. After the Florida Derby, Wood Memorial, Arkansas Derby, and Santa Anita Derby, hopefully, praise God and other dieities, we might know a whole lot more.
