1987 and 1988 do it for me. Not just for what those two had done up to and including the Derby but for how good they were after. I remember Seeking the Gold and Forty Niner putting on those two great shows in the Haskell and Travers and then STG running with Alysheba down the lane in the Classic. Too bad Risen Star couldn't finish out the year. And as good as that 1987 field was, remember that it was missing Java Gold, Lost Code, and Polish Navy. That was a deep class.
