I think it's all about Uncle Mo. Not a single other 3yo gets me excited in this crop. I too with Kantharos had been able to stick around.

Also, I think for 2007, you've got to include Rags to Riches as one of the top 3yos, considering how she ran stride for stride with Curlin and beat him in the Belmont.
I wouldn't even have included Travelin Man in my top 10 most interesting 3yo prospects list, had I ever wanted to waste my time to compile one.

As for Rags, hell, she could have won the triple crown in some of these recent years, but I was referring strictly to males in my remarks about the last 10 crops.

And you really aren't at least intrigued by Bind?

What about the prospects of an Affirmed and Alydar like triple crown between Uncle Mo and Anthony's Cross?!

I'm not intrigued by any horse anymore that does it only against maidens. Interested to an extent to see what they can do against winners and then against stakes horses but not overly interested.

I'm going to have to talk to Byk about having you banned for mentioning Anthony's Cross in the same post as Uncle Mo in as far as a rivalry.

Dude, think of it!

It wouldn't be a rivalry, it would be an exacta, three times! I wonder if there's ever been a 1-2 finisher in any triple crown race that was sired by the same stallion.

I don't even know who the stallion is so you lost me.

I don't know whether to thank you for giving me such an easy setup, or to scold you for being moronic.

I mean that with the utmost civility in mind.

Chose either course you want. I don't get into breeding. I prefer watching them race and judging them on their own ability, not on anything their mom or dad could or couldn't do. I'm not knocking anyone that is into that part of the game but it does nothing for me.

I'm going to guess the sire is Indian Charlie. I remember that horse. Loved him as a runner. Made money on him in the SA Derby and he was my choice for the Kentucky Derby as well. I just don't care anything about the horses once they retire.
