Even among the ones with 3 races there is a multitude of promise.

Uncle Mo
The Factor (only one without a true distance pedigree)
Sway Away
Machen

Brethren and Elite Alex have been overhyped - but both have a distance pedigree - and are lightly raced enough that big development wouldn't surprise anyone.

Machen has way more natural speed than he's showed in his last two when his genius trainer opted to have him anchored behind very slow paces.

He simply needs to figure out how to break out of the gate - and to be allowed to use just a morsel of his natural speed - and he will be tough to beat in the LA Derby.

I wish Kantharos would have stayed healthy, he had some talent. Seems like most have forgotten him

Turfers Data Link and Silver Medallion need to be added in the overall scheme of the crop.

Watch that replay of his last. He was superb. He's going to be a nice player on the 3yo grass scene.
