souvenir copy--was so so Worldy Manner looked like he was going to be something, that the Arabs in blue shelled out a ton. Ran like a dud in the Ky Derby and didnt do much after that Forest Camp--wasnt actually all that bad, but he was no Forestry Flame Thrower--couldnt stretch out and wasnt so good anymore towards the late 2yr old yr Officer looked like a super horse before the BC Juvy, and then running back the following Saturday to also lose. I remember this vividly as I had won some $800 win voucher giveaway at Emerald Downs but to keep the cash, I had to put a win bet on a horse and win. Well it went to Officer..OUCH! Icecoldbeer was an ok horse Midshimpan they took him back to Dubai then poof, combine that with soundness issues, they could of actually had a good one here. Looking at Lucky owners would kill to at least have one horse like this in their lifetime, sure he wasnt the best or talented but he was good. For Baffert and Pegram Lucky was just par for the course. Drill--dont know what to think yet, we still have much to see or not see from this one

I always thought Silver Charm was good but never thought he was great. He made his big claim to fame by winning the first two legs of the TC but I thought he was lucky to win the Preakness because of Touch Gold's rough trip. I thought Touch Gold was the one that should have won two legs that year. Silver Charn certainly earns points for consistency at the top level but I never considered him to be truly great.

I seem to be in the small minority that thinks that that crop was overrated and overhyped. It was a strong crop certainly, but back then, everyone seemed to think it was 1973.
