Not that Arthur's Tale was the horse, but it just seems many of the three year olds (at least as of late) can't stay healthy enough to endure the entire Derby trail/TC series.

Is this an over reaction, or does anyone else feel the same way?

It's been going on for a lot longer than just a few years.

I saw horses from 20 years ago that might have been able to win the TC, get knocked out. Actually, more like 25 years.

Depending upon your age, I still think one might surface.................but it's highly doubtful that we'll ever see a decade like the 70's.

I think we'll catch one good animal that will be able to take advantage of a mediocre crop year.
