Yep.

Schoolyard Dreams, for instance. He's not much.

How'd he do in the Wood and the TB race?

You are resting your hopes on Schoolyard Dreams? Tampa was months ago, new ballgame now.

Not at all man.

Just pointing out that one mediocre horse was pretty much on even terms with SS, and then came back and got his ass kicked badly.

In fact, in the Wood, the winner might never run again and the third place horse came back lame in his next start.

I think the Wood exposed the TBD race as being even weaker than everyone originally thought.

Or Esken's performance was overrated?

His performances, while still the most impressive in this crop, have yeah, been overrated. At least to me anyways.

Eskendreya aside, Schoolyard Dreams still lost to Jackson Bend AND Awesome Act!

The Wood has made somewhat of a resurgence in the past decade as a good Derby prep, but man, 2010 was dreadful.
