There might be some extraordinary talents in this crop, but overall the group seems anemic.
That could have been the lightest BC Juvenile in history in terms of depth.
The Champagne had a 5-horse field with an odds-on colt with but a maiden win.
The Hopeful had a 4-horse field.
The Saratoga Special had a short field and the winner broke down soon after.
The top colt at West (JPs Gusto) has the classic look of an early season 2yo that doesn't train on. The Hollywood Futurity looks like a free-for-all.
To Honor And Serve seems like the only stakes winner that will be a legitimate Derby candidate.
