More than ready, El corredor, left bank, lido palace.

That was a great year. One could make the case that the older horses sucked that year though. I can only remember LDK being any good.

There are A LOT of really solid routers you're leaving out as well.

Also some pretty damn good sprinters - Caller One was a monster as a 3yo. Probably the best 3yo sprinter of the last decade. Horses like Swept Overboard, Trippi, Hook and Ladder, etc.

More Than Ready was 4th in that years Haskell and still got a 106 Beyer. MTR was 0-for-7 lifetime at a mile or further - but ran a couple 106's routing and six of his seven figs were in the 99-to-106 range. More Than Ready was considered like a joke at a mile and beyond because of the record - but put him in with this crop - and his performances are about as good as anything except obviously Eskendarya.
