Darley has a ton of upside, but they are still unproven in the states. You would think with 50 stallions they would be able to do better than they do here. Sir Percy is from their Mark of Esteem though so I guess right now they are red hot.
Expect Corinthian to give Discrete Cat a run for the money in the Dwyer although if SNS shows up I would give him the edge over both.
Can't argue with Bernardini, although I still think Barbaro was the better horse, mainly because of his proven ability on all surfaces.
Watch out for Lael in the future. If they stop selling their horses to the Sheiks they could be the ones dominating american racing. Grandera who Darley now owns was theirs. George Washington and Barbaro were both theirs at one point and they have Showing Up and some nice mares.
Winstar is also interesting.

I can understand how many may feel my thoughts were a little bold, but I really believe they will win the rest of the important 3-year-old races if form holds up, and they have a mass of other very important horses in other division that should account for several graded stakes wins in the states through the rest of the year.....just my opinion..
..I do, however, seriously disagree with anybody who feels that Cornthian can run with Discreet Cat......I think Discreet Cat will run away from Corinthian like his feet were cemented in the dirt....Discreet Cat has twice the ability and class IMO...we'll see soon enough, but I certainly am up for a side wager if you are game?...So, what do you think?
