For sheer depth, I can't think of a crop since I've started watching racing that comes close.

I can't think of a deeper crop either. Everyone remembers the obvious ones like Java Gold and Alysheba, and the fringe players like Gone West, Lost Code, Polish Navy, and Cryptoclearance, but then you also had quality horses like On The Line.

The fillies from that crop weren't too shabby either, with Personal Ensign and Very Subtle leading the way.
