In the handicap divisions of 1996 through 1998, a Beyer in that range would get you beat almost double digits in many Grade 2's.

Exactly.

Again, I can't believe that Tagg is not even considering putting Nobiz back on the dirt. If he can run a 105, he can be HOY if Curlin doesn't make it back from Dubai. At least older male champion.

I know. Bring back the Cigar's, Skip Aways, Silver Charms, Lemon Drop Kids of the world (not saying they are the best, but they came to mind first).

Not going to happen. With these McTrainers getting all of the good stock you can expect mediocrity and lack of depth in the divisions from here on out.
