Why no Perfect Drift or Magnum? None of them would make the list any better either though. I understand u like Sun King and u know I love Surf Cat but neither of them belong on this list. Both of them belong on the top 10 sprinter list but not this one. U say that u can throw whatever garbage u want into the last three spots. I say u could throw it into the last eight spots.

I'm just saying that when u consider it was just two years ago when we had Ghostzapper, Roses in May, Perfect Drift, Pleasantly Perfect, Medaglia d'Oro, Peace Rules, Saint Liam, and Southern Image.......and just last year when we had Lava Man, Rock Hard Ten, Saint Liam, Borrego, Perfect Drift, Commentator, even Ghostzapper for one race........u see that this year the depth of talent is severly lacking. It's not so much to say that the horses on the list are BAD horses but I think the only reason that some of them are even able to make it is because the upper level talents of the game are taken away earlier and earlier and we are being left with less and less every year.

I hear ya but at the same time we may be rewarded with one of the better 3yo crops in a long time so it all evens out. Bernardini and Henny Hughes could easily take the Classic and Sprint, Discreet Cat could be better than both of them, and we had Barbaro and Showing Up in the same crop. The 4yo and 5yo crops were the ones depleted by MRLS so that may be as much of a factor for the older horse division being weak as cash being king.
