The Cat Thief year was worse. If you take out Afleet Alex from his crop, that might have been possibly worse yet.

It's now way to hard to judge a crop this early because of the situation in California. Traditionally, we'd all have some idea who the big horses are going to be coming out of there, but now, we basically have to wait until those horses get shipped to run at a dirt track.
That's a big chunk of horse flesh that's basically been eliminated from consideration.

It's not '06 Belmont winner Jazil It's not '06 Preakness winner Bernardini It is Barbaro ... who won the Grade 3 Holy Bull by a diminishing three quarters of one length over Great Point ... a horse who recently was running for a 5K claiming tag at Camarero race track in Puerto Rica. ... No for '05 Belmont winner Birdstone No for '05 Derby and Preakness winner Smarty Jones. ... No for '04 Belmont and Preakness winner Afleet Alex No for '04 Kentucky Derby winner Giacomo ... No for '03 Belmont winner Empire Maker No for '03 Preakness and Derby winner Funny Cide ... No for '02 Belmont winner Sarava No for '02 Preakness and Derby winner War Emblem ...

So ... of the last 26 triple crown races ... only one of them was won by a horse who captured a 3yo graded stakes race against males prior to mid March. It was Barbaro in this race ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j9q_9VVhkw
