How do you.....

[horseofcourse]

1. Curlin...he simply did more. Ran all 3 TC races and won the Classic. HIs Preakness was great and his last two races were great.

2. Bernardini...skipped the Belmont to focus on the Travers...whereas Curlin was using the Haskell as more a return race/prep for the fall races.

3. Smarty Jones

4. Afleet Alex

5. Barbaro.

The bottom 3 simply stopped running and the top 2 finished out there 3 year old years very strong. I don't know how you rate horses that simply stop running. Speculating whether they win the BC Classic or what not is all that...speculation. If Curlin/Bernardini also stopped running after the TC I would rank them...

1. Smarty Jones
2. Afleet Alex
3. Barbaro
4. Bernardini
5. Curlin.

I dont' know what the question was or if there were stipulations on how to rank them...
