I'll Have Another did not break have a triple digit Beyer.

Good point. His 101 was from the Derby.

There are parallels between this crop and the Big Brown crop, with Bode being Big Brown and the rest of the crop being dreadful.


I'm not sure I'm ready to believe that entirely just yet though.

That's pretty much the way I feel. When it's all over, Beyer may be right, but leading up to the Derby I didn't hear anyone say this was a weak crop. The Derby, albeit the biggest 3 year old race of the year is only one race of many more good ones to come.

If I'll Have Another runs a competitive 2nd or 3rd to Bode in the Preakness (yeah... I'm already giving Bode the Preakness), I think this crop has some depth to it. Creative Cause if not so wide and close up could have something to say in the Preakness. I think this crop has some depth to it. But Bode is a freak.

I’ll Have Another, Bodemeister (second), Dullahan (third), Went the Day Well (fouth), and Creative Cause (fifth) qualified for automatic Preakness starts by earning a check in the Derby. Hansen and Liaison round out the top seven. In the second tier of the Preakness qualifying system, which is based on open-stakes earnings, Isn't He Clever, Optimizer, Hierro, and Teeth of the Dog are currently sitting eighth through 11th. In the third tier, which is based on total earnings, Pretension, Tiger Walk, and Paynter round out the 14 available spots as of Tuesday. Zetterholm, Cozzetti, Guyana Star Dweej and Brimstone Island (in order listed) are on the also-eligible list in which two spots will be available at entry time.

That article called Bodemeister a sprinter.
