With the FOL being a one-turn mile this year, I'm not sure if we'll learn anything about those two until later on.
People always want to start ranking the crop in February....which is hard to do.
However, if I had to judge it right now I would say that it looks like a pretty decent crop....maybe somewhere around average for the past ten years or so. Now, if you take an average (or maybe even slightly above-average) crop and compare them to last year's collection of three-legged donkeys, these guys look like a crop full of Holy Bulls.
