There is still hope for the class of 2009, I lean towards 2005 being the worst:

Giacomo - (8) won San Diego G2 at 4
Closing Argument - (1) 9th Preakness
Afleet Alex - (2) Preakness & Belmont
Don't Get Mad - (6) Indiana Derby G2, Northern Dancer G3
Buzzard's Bay - (17) All American G3, Oaklawn G2 Californian G2
Wilko - (14) 2nd Dubai World Cup
Bellamy Road - (1) Gallant, front-running beautiful 2nd in the Travers
Andromeda's Hero - (18) Fred Hooper G3
Flower Alley - (9) Jim Dandy, Travers, 2nd BC Classic
High Fly - (2) 2nd Jerome G3
Greeley's Galaxy - (9) no wins after Derby hereinafter "nwad"
Coin Silver - (2) nwad
Greater Good - (14) nwad
Noble Causeway - (11) nwad
Sun King - (20) PA Derby G2, Commonwealth G2, 2nd Whitney, Woodward and Met Mile
Spanish Chestnut - (7) won Allowance optional claimer
Sort It Out - (8) nwad
Going Wild - (25) won Michael G. Schaefer, at 6 won Free Spirit, Premium, Zip Pocket
Bandini - (3) won Skip Away G3

That looks like a lot of wins in that field, including a legit nice horse in Sun King....I think its 1-5 2009 is the worst.

There are some nice horses in the 2009 crop. It's just that most of them didn't make the Derby field.

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that...I really liked that horse.
