4 more days until the 3 year old season

That's a nice list Sightseek. This crop may not turn out as good as '06 but there should be some big surprises over the next few months. I'm thinking some horse is going to come outta nowhere and knock off the big names.

The Barbaro layoff is definitely going to make trainers try to get into the Derby by taking the minimum number of shots at it per horse. Maybe some nag that ran 12 times before the 1st Saturday in May will step up and win big.

Interesting to see how the artificial tracks play into it also. The Bluegrass might re-assert itself as a premier prep race instead of producing flukes like Sin Min and whoever won it the year before (Bandini?).
