Agree and this summers Travers, Haskell et all should be really fun to watch and wager. Lots of good 3yo's and some great turf racers still knocking heads in the big stakes...and we still have the usual 2yo's to keep and eye on for the Hopeful and BC at Monmouth.

All three races had thoroughly deserving horses emerge victorious. With the exception of Street Sense, however, I just wish I could have felt the same way about the horses' connections.

All three races were awesome. In the derby the juvenile curse was broken, in the preakness the record time was run again, and the belmont will go down as one of the most memorable races of all time, right up there with Secretariat's Belmont.

I'd say no.
