Garry O'Gorman is co chairman of the World Thoroughbred Rankings. This is a quote from him on American 3yo's of 2008.
They came to this conclusion after the 2008 racing year. I said it before they ever raced in the Kentucky Derby. I said it was the worse crop of 3yo talent since before 1992. Even PA challenged me to prove my contention, which I explained how I came to my conclusion and the 3yo crop continued to prove me corect all year.
Damn it's nice to be vendicated, at the end of the year, by the experts. :lol:
It was a shocking bad year for North American 3-year-olds, even prior to the Kentucky Derby our American colleagues were saying that and it's in stark contrast to the previous season when Curlin, Hard Spun and Street Sense all stayed the distance through the season," added O'Gorman."I suppose using your crystal ball for 2009, Big Brown and Curlin have retired so the older horse category apart from Zenyatta is looking very threadbare."
