You know the racing in America is lacking when people are getting excited about the return of Sun King.

The older division doesn't look deep now, but Invasor is a star, Lava Man plays the role of a star on the west coast, and there are a few that just graduated from the 3yo ranks with at least a glimmer of talent.

Well I think it does look fairly weak, at the moment. It is always fairly tough to evaluate at this time of year, however, because you never know who will be around in the fall, and what 3 year olds will emerge that will compete in the big fall races for 3yo and up.

I've noticed that you are having a difficult time with people criticizing everything you say. I'm only a couple years older than you and I don't think it has anything to do with age. Let's take this particular comment for example. If you run into a comment from somebody you don't agree with, don't take it personal and don't make it personal. Maybe try something like:

"I think the handicap division actually isn't pathetic at all. I think you could have potential stars like Lawyer Ron, Master Command, Corinthian, to go along with old faces like Sun King and the Dubai contingent."

It might behoove you to not say things to people like: "You don't know what you're talking about.

This is just a little helpful advice. If you deem it unnecessary then kindly disregard it. You have strong opinions which, while very interesting, leave you open to criticism should they be disproven.

Good racing luck to all!
