I agree that it is "a teeny bit more exciting" but it isn't exactly great. Lawyer Ron's two outings at Saratoga were certainly impressive, and would probably stamp him as one of the top 9f horses not just this year, but in the last couple of years. And - as you mention - the addition of the top two 3yos certainly adds someting to the luster, as it usually does. On the whole though I still think the division lacks a lot of depth.....especially in terms of 10f horses.
