Point Given is my favorite horse, and imo was visually the more impressive horse. His Belmont was the best we have seen in in this century, with the time and speed figure to back it up. In the Travers he won easily, but we knew that he had a extra gear or two left in him which we hadn't seen and regrettably we never got to see more

As for what happened in the Derby,with PG. Stevens and Baffert were already thinking TC before winning the Derby. Stevens admitted that the Derby in his mind would be a foregone conclusion, he was looking to break Secretariat's time. Like what was also posted Baffert was training for TC and looked past the Derby

AP is a good horse and also visually impressive, but times and figures assigned have been average times for the races won by horses in years past. Nothing really stands out other than he won the TC. I'm not as confident in AP that he has extra gears left we have not seen. But time will well, hopefully.

Right now for me it is

PG, SC, AP, RQ
