Actually it was a pretty good bunch of 3yo's this year:

Arrogate leads the way......for good reason.
In terms of the others,I kind of like Exaggerator.
He was the only 3yo to win three Gr.1's this year,and two of his scores were in major heats(Preakness/Haskell).
Nyquist was an undefeated winner(at the time)of the Kentucky Derby......plus he had two Gr.1's.
If Nyquist would of been turned out after the Preakness(like he should of been)he still might be around.
Gun Runner was a top quality sort who ran well the entire year......there's a lot to be said for his long,grueling campaign.
Factor in that Gun Runner did his best work at the end of his hard season and he's even more appealing.
I like horses that dance every dance......Gun Runner deserves bonus points for being hickory like.
I rate the 3yo's like this:

1) Arrogate
2T) Exaggerator
2T) Gun Runner
4) Nyquist
