I guess it boils down to how you define the term "stars"
The last few years have been awful throughout almost every division in terms of horses with elite talent.
I don't blame anyone who wants to be excited about the 3yo's from this crop - and yet are not impressed at all with the older horses we've seen this year.
I think you have to go all the way back to 2001 to find a 3-year-old male crop that was unarguably better than this current one at this time of the year.
You also have a 3-year-old filly in Rachel Alexandra who's recent form going into the Kentucky Oaks is as impressive as any 3yo filly since Sillverbulletday ten years ago.
