Nice collection of older horses and grass mares. Any 3yos with 2yo form on dirt besides Eskendereya?

I think you made a big stink about Devil May Care getting ear-twitched in the gate at FG and IIRC the pseudo-sprinter Discreetly Mine was banged around on the inside in the sloppy Spectacular Bid, so I'm withdrawing those from consideration.

Of the big names ... Super Saver and Mission Impaz off the top of my head ... to go along with Esk, Devil May Care, and Discreetly Mine

Well, the difference with Stay Thirsty is that he showed up with a winning effort, but didn't run particularly fast. I take that as a sign that he's more or less at his ceiling. Aside from Eskendereya, the others you mentioned had an array of excuses (eg off track, gate trouble, long layoffs, etc.) in their comebacks.
