Curious about your high opinion of Upstart. Not that he's a bad horse, but he's going to be the top 3yo of the second half of the year? I just don't see it. Not only do I think AP, Dortmund, Texas Red, Firing Line, Frosted, Kentuckian, and several others may be better horses, it's rare that a horse finish so poorly in the KY Derby and rebound to be the best in the crop over the second half of the year. Not sure it's ever happened. The Derby has a way with weeding out horses. The only ones I can think of to run poorly (and not as poorly as Upstart ran) and came back to be top horses were those who cut back to sprinting.
