Is this thread about top ten 3yos (as it says in the title) or about top ten Kentucky Derby hopefuls? Those are two very different questions that seem to get conflated this time of year.
At this point I don't see how War Pass could be considered anything other than the best 3yo running right now.
He might actually be the #1 Derby contender as well, but people could certainly make the case for others in that department.

If you put Adriano in the top spot, could you still retain your post as president of the Giant Moon Fan Club?

It was his style, not the figure I meant. I guess I have a thing for "fast closing" horses.

If Denis of Cork wins a triple crown race I am retiring from the game.
