I don't think so.
I'd say 2014 is definitely better than 2009 as well (Friesan Fire was the favorite and Mine that Bird was the winner).

There is a certain board member here that gave out Danza yesterday morning on twitter. I won't mention any names, but his initials are Jay Frederick. Just your typical $84 winner. Ho hum...

Glad you crushed it, bro.

Nice pick Jay Frederick! I wish I knew when to jump on to someone else's opinion. I wish I knew when to jump on my own as well, I'd be rich.

I somehow made up this theory that Pletcher was using Danza as a rabbit to help his other entrant. So coming into the stretch it looked like a replay of the Fla. derby with Danza getting a dream trip on the rail similar to Constitution, only this time there was no Wildcat Red to battle back.

This spring there have been 4 preps to compare the 3 yo's to TOP older horses.
Fountain of Youth
Wildcat Red 1 1/16 (1:35.24) 1:41.85 101 beyer
Normandy Invasion 1 mile 1:33.13(NTR) 100 beyer

San Felipe
Cali Chrome 1 1/16 (1:33.94) 1:40.59 108 beyer
Game on Dude 1 1/4 (1:32.57) 1:58.17 117 beyer

La. Derby
Vicar's In Trouble 1 1/8 (1:37.15) 1:50.77 97 beyer
Palace Malice 1 1/8 (1:36.31) 1:48.93 114 beyer

Ark. Derby
Danza 1 1/8 (1:37.38) 1:49.68 ? beyer
Will Take Charge 1 1/8 (1:36.87) 1:49.55 ? beyer

Danza ran huge in comparison. I don't understand how Normandy Invasion wins by 7, sets a new track record and gets trumped by Wildcat Red on the beyer fig.
