Lava Man is good. Bernardini is good. I think Discreet Cat is in that class also (although admittedly, he's got to do more to prove it to everyone). Other than that, I don't think there are any other horses that route that are any good, 3yo's or older. Wait, I forgot about Bright One and Cindago. But the jury is still out on both of those two but they have potential to be good ones.
The rest? Yes, they all suck. U can put a blanket over them and they are all the same horse. The ones that win today will come in last in the next race and the ones that were nowhere to be found today will win the next race. The only consistency in the division is the inconsistency. Invasor has seemed like he is a step ahead of them but he's beaten absolutely nothing at all and was all out to barely beat Sun King, who is simply NOT a grade one winning horse. He had the perfect opportunity here and couldn't get it done again and hold's a losing record versus Premium Tap. Let's be real here. Premium Tap is not a world beater. He had 13 career starts before yesterday and no graded stakes wins and only $171k in earnings. Then Second of June also beat him, he of no wins since January of 2004. And he barely beats Papi Chullo, he of no career stakes wins and who was last seen losing the Longacres Mile. Meanwhile, not one but all of the supposed top stakes horses in the race (Flower Alley, Sun King, Suave, Andromeda's Hero, and Funny Cide) all flopped.
