Curlin was named HOY over the other three. I think that SS had peaked by the time he ran the Travers and that Rags, post injury was not likley to come back as well, and that HS, as game as he was was better suited to 8 and 9f and that had he run this year Jones was hoping to try him as a grass miler. Based on how they finished the year last year, I couldn't see any of that trio threatening Curlin this season, though it would have been nice of them to try.
