Every year, certain negative horseplayers whine about the proverbial 'bad' or below-average crop.
This year, those 'stopped clocks' may have gotten it right.
Always Dreaming is really impressive when he has things favorable enough.
Classic Empire was very tough in defeat in the Preakness. Tough enough to look at his Derby as an optimist. He was great in the Juvenile, and at least carried some of that forward to add to this crop.
Cloud Computing is a solid horse. He raced in only the Preakness, and got a good setup, but he provided a quality alternative in the 2nd jewel.
Battle of Midway was a very cool late bloomer. Probably the 4th best horse in the Derby, and was about 16th or so IIRC in odds rank.
Irish War Cry was OK.
Baffert had an off year in terms of Triple Crown additions.
Timeline had to be brought around slowly for races like the Haskell and Travers.
GREAT betting races from the the preps to the Triple Crown series. Interesting to follow along and forward.
