Too bad they started dropping like flies. The Pampelmousse didn't even make the SA Derby after his killer Sham win. Quality Road won the FL Derby despite having minor feet issues going into the race - issues that became major after it. And I Want Revenge, who inherited the role as a stone cold - need to fall down to lose - cinch to win the Kentucky Derby was a morning scratch.

Yeah this time last year, I was all excited about the Derby.

Then because of the 2 race day scratches and, the foot problems of QR we ended up with the worst derby field since Sea Hero won in 1992.

I guess the Cali track vet knew what he/she was talking about with the tendon of The Pamplemousse.
I remember Canani being all mad and saying he was fine to run.....Well we have not seen him since.

Good stats DrugS but FAR from surprising. This is not a particularly good bunch and never appeared to be.

I'd like to see a comparison of this year's crop to 2008.
