Yep - talk about some sensational 3yo's.

All five of them would murder Lookin At Lucky.

Even though he had a poor trip when 6th in the BC Classic - it's not hard to figure out that 6/5 favorite Fu Peg - and his rumored $70 million sale price - was the overrated one of that stellar group.

As much as I liked this filly, if you'd have ever seen Melair run, you'd never make that comparison.

I made a comment about six weeks ago on Talking Horses, sort of jokingly, that Albert the Great would have been 4:5 in this year's Classic.

Looking at those pps, that feels like an overlay.
