One of the problems with the discussions of 3yo crops is that they always center on the ones that ran in the TC or summer 3yo races, and those horses almost never stick around long enough to do well against their elders (VG and Skip Away being among the few exceptions). Or, to put it another way-- how were Pico, GZ et all viewed at this point as 3yo's?
What we do here is try to measure ability, not accomplishment-- we are looking for overlays both in buying and betting. That does not mean a horse who ran fast will necessarily keep running fast, any more than winning a G1 means a horse will win another one.
