Does this sound to you like Eddington, Limehouse, Tapit, Pollard's Vision?

You are making a reference to the '04 crop I see. Which, while certainly not stellar, included horses such as Smarty Jones, Lion Heart, Rock Hard Ten, and Birdstone among others. Yes, while far from historically strong, the '04 crop was better and deeper than this one.

Last years crop recieved positive reviews from me for several months leading into the Derby. This years has recieved almost the opposite, and deservingly so.

With the exception of Street Sense and Curlin---those other horses are pretty weak from a speed figure standpoint---and don't hold your breath waiting for them to develop any.
