I'll take this crop all day long compared to '11, '10, '09 (less Rachel), '08 (less Big Brown).

Time will tell where this crop belongs when compared to other 3-year-old crops.

The big 2-year-old races:

Breeders Cup Juvenile: All starters in this race are a combined 0-for-16 in Graded Stakes races since.

Kentucky Jockey Club: The top 5 finishers are a combined 0-for-17 since after Uncaptured was beaten as the 2-5 favorite in the Wando Stakes.

The Cash Call Futurity: Violence won - he's hurt. Fury Kapcori was 2nd. He hasn't run back. Den Legacy was 3rd, he stinks.

The Remsen, the best 2yo race last year (1:50.27 at 9f) has been overshadowed by a slow maiden race (1:38.73) run a few races earlier. That maiden race was won by Orb. Revolutionary finished 3rd.

The class of '11 had some who turned into pretty nice horses. One of them won some big race overseas back in March, I hear.
