Hard Spun would jog over Mohaymen.

Mohaymen is an underlay at 5-1.

Apparently, Mohaymen can't get seven furlongs either.

Seems like he just bought himself a one way ticket to Dubai to help fill races during the Meydan festival for the next 5-7 years a la Grand Hombre and State Shinto.

Get to the shed. Hurry Hurry Hurry! Overrated G2 winner. By Tapit, he'll get a pass. Not very talented against top horses.

I'm not a hater, but speak the truth.

He won't win again against any good horses at any distance. Best in the generation is a complete mystery even after the Travers.

Just never improved from 2 to 3. Can't blame the connections for taking this shot. This is what they had to work with.

Lol at all of this. A lot of you guys loved Mohaymen last year... I never did. Best of this generation is crystal clear. As a matter of fact so is 2nd best. Arogate is the 1 and American Freedom is 2. Hell the latter is 1-1 against Exagerattor and was best against him last time.

And Cupid is the 3rd best so Baffert has the place surrounded. Never mind not a one of those colts ran in a single Triple Crown race, so I guess that's evidence that we can do away with the whole outdated thing.

Instead of letting all these colts battle it out in top company from September of their 2yo year on through June of their sophomore year, we can just keep them all in the barn until March or April when they can show up in a maiden special weight sprint at odds-on. A steady diet of conditioned allowance races and undercard races during the spring should get keep them fresh and ready to pounce on all the inferior stock that have been running themselves ragged in Grade 1 races...

Yeah, you weren't fooled. Instead you were all over Mor Spirit (surprise, surprise).

Then again, I presume Mor Spirit is the 4th best of his generation, so once again, great eye!

Here is the rest of the top 10:

5th Drefong
6th Danzing Candy
7th Collected
8th Malibu Sunset
9th Hoffenheim
10th Ten Blessings
