Default Which top 4 is a bigger laughingstock?

Last years BC Juv Fillies:
Stardom Bound
Dream Empress
Sky Diva
Dave's Regenge

OR

Last years BC Juv:
Midshipman
Square Eddie
Street Hero
Terrain


Stardom Bound is the only one of those 8 who has since won ... but she got a monumental positive trainer change going from Paasch to Frankel/Dutrow. And she also ran very slow everytime.

Dream Empress has been utterly humiliated in her 3 races since .. her best Beyer only a 74 in those 3 races as she has staggered home badly beaten.

Sky Diva was 3rd beaten 9.5 lengths at 1/5 odds next time out and hasn't run since.

Dave's Revenge was 4th beaten just 3 lengths while making only her 2nd lifetime start in the Breeders Cup. A race so promising that her connections have refused to run her for the $25,000 N2L claiming tag she belongs in. She's been off the board in 7 straight races since the Breeders Cup - never once running a Beyer higher than 71. She's been in the low 60's lately.

OK, so you have a horse who won a championship for the brutal Paasch - and became slow as hell for Frankel/Dutrow. And the other three horses are a combined 0-for-11 with a top Beyer of 74 since the Breeders Cup.

And as for the Juvie...

Midshipman is toast.

Square Eddie was beaten at 3/5 in San Raffy - and 7/5 in the Lexington - he's now toast.

Street Hero is toast.

Terrain returned to run 5th by 12 lengths at Delta Downs next out - he never threatened in 5 in a row since the Breeders Cup and now he's dead.

OK, so, you have toast, toast, toast, and a dead horse.


Before anyone gets too down on the Juvenile though - the sensational Munnings did manage to beat a whopping two horses in the race! - one of them was an eventual Kentucky Derby winner who finished dead last

Ah well, at least they can never take the great memories of those two stupid Euro horses beating Tiag-Slow in the Classic from us.
