based on the list, i'd think only old fashioned really has a shot at entering right now.

Unbridled's Song was ridiculously talented. It's a shame he had various issues holding him back, including his feet. He turned for the home in the Derby like he was home-free... and just ran out of gas.

the quarter crack and bar shoes he was running on (and the 20 post) didnt help his chances!!

if HEALTHY his whole career and with a different owner he could have had an AWESOME career.

I've read lots of quotes where Zito says he's the top horse he's ever trained... and Zito only had him for one race (7 furlongs @ gulfstream.. coming off a long layoff... 1:21 and change over appealing skier who was a decent sprinter).

Right up there with Toccet for 'worst-managed career ever'. Still, he did have iffy feet and he does pass on a few physical problems. Hit and miss, like his sire - the hits are big ones but a lot more can't stand training.
