If I remember correctly, Candy Ride was still technically 3 years old when he smoked Medaglia d'Oro in the Pacific Classic. If so, he was easily the most talented 3-year-old I've seen in a long, long time.

Really tough to seperate Point Given, Holy Bull, and Bernandini. Those three were freaks in the spring/summer. Tiznow certainly closed the year with a bang.

I'd have to say since 1990, the top 3YOs would be Point Given, Unbridled and Silver Charm.

I agree with that first part. Sunday Silence beat him in the Derby, Preakness, and BCC, so I'll take him any day of the week over Easy Goer...

That race was pretty unbelievable.
