The horse who came into that years Ky Derby with the highest outright last race Beyer was Curlin .. and it was a 103.
Funny Cide ran a 110 in the Wood and he was 12/1 in the Derby.
War Emblem ran a 112 in his final Derby prep and he was 20/1 in the Derby.
Curlin was a great talent ... but the rest of that crop was just monsterously overrated in my opinion.
Funny Cide would have torched those horses. Smarty Jones would have torched those horses. War Emblem would have torched those horses. Point Given would have killed those horses. Fusaichi Pegasus would have been the best of that group.
Rags to Riches handled them in the only shot she got.
