2007: Solid crop - not as talented at the top as '06, but much deeper.
2006: Bernardini, Discreet Cat, Barbaro - no depth though
2005: Afleet Alex, Bellamy Road - and a lot of junk
2004: solid crop - but the older males were friggen strong.
2003: Very solid crop - but the older males were friggen strong
2002: War Emblem, Medaglia D' Oro, Came Home - avg depth
2001: VERY strong wildly underrated crop going into the Kentucky Derby - injuries took a big toll. Almost everything got hurt before year end.
2000: Awesome crop. VERY talented and easily the deepest of all since.

Exactly my point(s).
This crop, potentially (since everyone is so lightly raced), has both significant talent and depth.
You really need to go back 11 years, to 2001, to find a really good group.
