It's always premature to do such, but that is what we all do as players. Mendy was a "hot" colt; Audible was undefeated. MMoon look very solid, Bolt was an exciting colt, Good Magic will win the Haskell and is a very good colt, FFire is a good colt. I actually think the list is fairly impressive.

Have looked at the colts Slew beat at 3, nobody knew he was truly fast until his 4-year-old campaign.
Sad to see him retired. Lost a 100.00 to boot

What Justify accomplished in such s short amount of time is nothing short of amazing. But just of the recent Baffert horses I would take Arrogate and American Pharaoh over Justify all day.

We never got to see just how great he would have been. I was always hopeful that Travers, Breeeders Cup, Pegasus would be the plan. It was so cool that American Pharaoh kept going for the rest of the year.

We would all be guessing including Baffert. When I listen to Baffert talk about the trio I get the impression he believes AP was his best ever, maybe it's the fanboy in me, maybe it's the fanboy in Baffert?

Fig guys will tell you Arrogate was the fastest at his best.

I think AP would beat both those guys. Watch his first ever workout....magic

If we are talking 1 race 10f all horses at there best, i want Arrogate. It's not really close.

I would tend to agree given the prerequisite above. Arrogate's Travers is on my Mt Rushmore and is DWC ain't far behind. I also think AP's BCC is dissed way too much.

Arrogate BCC is an amazing race. He gunned down Chrome on the money after Chrome had that race handed to him. A beautiful performance.

Arrogate steals the show in the BC Classic.

Right or wrong I never rated Chrome and certainly not as high as Gun Runner. It's all pretty subjective at that level.

McKinzie ...thought this was the best horse going into the derby preps.

Last I heard, if he had thumbs, he would twiddle them.

But, now I will behave myself and see what I can find out.

Pennsylvania Derby seems to be where Baff is thinking of sending him. I still can't get this thing to post a link, I have some setting wrong. I think there is a story this morning in drf.
