Great accomplishment winner six races and 4 G1's in 111 days. Not running in the Classic is disappointing.

I recall several people including myself who thought this was an excellent crop.
It's always premature to do such, but that is what we all do as players. Mendy was a "hot" colt; Audible was undefeated. MMoon look very solid, Bolt was an exciting colt, Good Magic will win the Haskell and is a very good colt, FFire is a good colt. I actually think the list is fairly impressive.

Have looked at the colts Slew beat at 3, nobody knew he was truly fast until his 4-year-old campaign.
Sad to see him retired. Lost a 100.00 to boot

What Justify accomplished in such s short amount of time is nothing short of amazing. But just of the recent Baffert horses I would take Arrogate and American Pharaoh over Justify all day.

We never got to see just how great he would have been. I was always hopeful that Travers, Breeeders Cup, Pegasus would be the plan. It was so cool that American Pharaoh kept going for the rest of the year.

We would all be guessing including Baffert. When I listen to Baffert talk about the trio I get the impression he believes AP was his best ever, maybe it's the fanboy in me, maybe it's the fanboy in Baffert?

Fig guys will tell you Arrogate was the fastest at his best.

I would tend to agree given the prerequisite above. Arrogate's Travers is on my Mt Rushmore and is DWC ain't far behind. I also think AP's BCC is dissed way too much.

Some folks thought that once the Apollo jinx was broken it would usher in new age of trainers not running horses at 2. Does Justify's early retirement signal too much too fast and dissuade them of doing that?

I love it when the boss teaches us new words. Maybe a new monicker for you Freddy.....Oafish Freddy Mo.
Wifey was chuckling yesterday as they approached the seventh fence when Collmus , right on cue, came with the penultimate fence call. Though it ain’t what it used to be since they got rid of the most important fence of all in the steeplechase races....

Of course you can only beat what's in front of you, so what was the point of putting that list?
