Hey SS - long time. Glad you're back. Yes, he has half decent numbers, not quite winning numbers but he has, so far, been given the best rating out of the bunch to date on this side of the pond. Essential Quality is just below him but he has that 32 points in his profile which can't be ignored.
Not too impressed with what the early season has presented yet so by default it is Brooklyn Strong and Essential Quality that look promising so far. I have a "wicked strong" feeling that the "real quality" will be coming late in the season this year because of how late the season ended last year. Late on the conditioning and the exclusive work that they were most likely denied early on.
There are a few who have run below the winners that look pretty good with their stamina so we shall just have to sit back and wait a bit. I really really dont want to see yet another Baffert speedster on the lead this year again. I'm actually pulling for an overseas guy to make it further this year because of how late our season ended. That at least plays to their favor for once. I feel like the Derby is going to come upon us very quickly this year. Its very strange.

Very strange year. So much so, I'm a little apprehensive about what next year brings.
As far as Brooklyn goes, I still think his pedigree is kinda wow! I hope he can be a player in the big races next year.
Dear gawd. I am over Bob. You should've heard my screaming for Swiss Skydiver in the Preakness.
I agree. We haven't seen the best of the rest. Weird year and all. The unveiling of young talent will start next year.
It would be great to see some overseas competition. I've watched quite a few races from over there.
