Gets me a bit mad that some people think this crop is bad or weak. Even though all three triple crown races are on the faster end when it comes to time. That said, there has been a clear divide on which horses we should look forward to though that could change depending on how some of them develop into their later 3 year old and perhaps 4 year old career.

Congrats to Essential Quality. Hot Rod Charlie ran his heart out, very impressed with both horses!

The top 2 put about 12 lengths on the field, both had tons of run left at the stretch run. Excellent race!!.
