obv not every year they went with 3 or more in the derby, but if you bet on any of these horses in the KD you lost.

That is a tough list of a lot of bad luck.
Eskendereya and I Want Revenge were going to be favorites in the Derby till injuries took them out.
Cloud Computing won the Preakness. Jazil won the Belmont. Tapit is easily argued as the best sire of the past decade, and maybe this century in America thus far. Frosted ran in the wrong year. Awesome Act and Any Given Saturday were solid older horses. With that said, there sure is a lot of meh in that list and a long list of 1 turn horses when it really gets down to it.
