Default Back To Normal

With Curlin and Hard Spun, we were made to believe that our best 3yo's could indeed still stand the rigors of the TC. Well, back to normal we are. I believe that Big Brown is done racing and will join the list of:

Barbaro, Afleet Alex, Smarty Jones, Point Given, Empire Maker, Charismatic, Giacomo, Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Thunder Gulch....I'm sure I'm missing some others.

I'm wondering when will racing fans start getting tired of our top 3yo's not making it to the end of their 3yo seasons? I know a few of them came back as 4yo's but that's after they couldn't even run anymore as 3yo's. And sure, situations like EM and Point Given are questionable as to whether they were injured or not but the point is, they didn't. Whether it's for economic reasons or injuries or whatever, when is everyone going to be fed up. Last year was an exception. This year, it's back to normal.
