I realize a lot of them weren't the type who figured to enjoy a fast paced 10 furlong race .. but the year was loaded to the gills with talented sharp horses.
I don't think it's debatable at all. That was the most impressive group coming into the Derby.

Tell me about it. I LOVED Congaree in that race. He just wasn't quite up for 10F with that crazy pace.

True, bad trips, working well, etc. but honestly the ONLY person- anywhere- that I heard talking him up was Rudolph, and I went to that Derby (zero chatter on track. All Noble Causeway.) I think a qualification of being a wise guy horse is actually getting bet.
