This field still had your listed stakes winner with Preachintothedevil!
I just don't agree with you that this year's preps taken as a whole have been the worst in the past 20 years like you said above.

I agree. If you throw out Big Brown, that crop was abysmal.
99 was just brutal.
If you don't have Afleet Alex, that crop is an all time horrible one.
