Hammersly wrote this article with tongue firmly planted in cheek. It was total repudiation of the three year old crop we've seen thus far. It's like some wise lady who recently posed the question, "What would happen if they had a Kentucky Derby and nobody won?"

Six weeks out from Derby day I'm still picking nobody to win. Hopefully that will change,
