Steve

You talk a lot about developing 3 year olds and their tendencies to pair up figures and move forward. In looking at the pp it appears that Atigun Dullahan and Paynter all fit with that general theory. That said, it looks like I'll Have Another may also be eligible for either a pairing of the Preakness figure or another step forward. Any thoughts?

It's certainly not what anyone wanted to see, but this statement is just silly.

Again, I don't think that correlates to the quality of the field. The main attraction is going to be sorely missed and will impact attendance, handle, etc. My point is that the other horses are still (at least 4-5) talented horses with bright futures.

bright futures is the polite way of saying "hasn't done anything yet"

the race is tomorrow so hopefully the bright future is 24 hours away....imo the field is made up of past there prime and not mature enough horses...none of them are clicking on all cylinders right now and it might be a competitive race but a superstar will not be born tomorrow
