Eh....I just can't be excited about this 3YO crop. The winners this weekend almost seemed to win because someone had to cross the finish line first. Very curious decisions with Hard Spun and Circular Quay leading up to the big race in three weeks.
I honestly think this is the year the juvy jinx is broken, and why not? We've had geldings, PA-breds, NY-breds, and horses with RAN-line damsires win in the last five years. If I had to bet a dollar today on the Derby, I'd bet Street Sense over Great Hunter. Aside from that, I'm just not impressed. I'll be rooting for Hard Spun, but I'll have a hard time betting on a horse - if he makes the Derby - who hasn't raced in forever. Same with Circular Quay.
