$75,000,000 reasons not to run anymore. Frankly, I'm fine with it because Scat Daddy is gone. Maybe he can carry on where SD left off. An impressive 111 day career.

Great accomplishment winner six races and 4 G1's in 111 days. Not running in the Classic is disappointing.

I recall several people including myself who thought this was an excellent crop.
It's always premature to do such, but that is what we all do as players. Mendy was a "hot" colt; Audible was undefeated. MMoon look very solid, Bolt was an exciting colt, Good Magic will win the Haskell and is a very good colt, FFire is a good colt. I actually think the list is fairly impressive. Have looked at the colts Slew beat at 3, nobody knew he was truly fast until his 4-year-old campaign. Sad to see him retired. Lost a 100.00 to boot |

What Justify accomplished in such s short amount of time is nothing short of amazing. But just of the recent Baffert horses I would take Arrogate and American Pharaoh over Justify all day.

WTF does that mean? Who was he supposed to beat other than all the 3yo's that were available? Oafish remark.

Some folks thought that once the Apollo jinx was broken it would usher in new age of trainers not running horses at 2. Does Justify's early retirement signal too much too fast and dissuade them of doing that?

Of course you can only beat what's in front of you, so what was the point of putting that list?

19 on the list are graded stakes winners.
Only Core Beliefs and Firenze Fire have won a graded stakes (both G3) since May. 12 horses: Gronkowski, Restoring Hope, Quip, Audible, Instilled Regard, My Boy Jack, Solomini, Bolt D'Oro, Enticed, Magnum Moon, Tre, and Show Time Rocket have either retired, been officially given time off, or have sparse worktabs. 5 on the list have won a race of any consequence in July. Firenze Fire (G3), Hofburg (STK), Shivermetimbers (ALW), Paddock Pick (MSW), and Jimmy Chila (40K claimer). |
