Well, we have the field for the Breeders Cup Juvenile, though Street Sense remains the only winner to have won the Kentucky Derby.

Texas Red
Carpe Diem
Upstart
Great
Mr Z
One Lucky Dane
Souper Colossal
Lucky PLayer
Private Prospect
Blue Dancer
Daredevil

And then there is American Pharoah and Blofeld.

That said, I believe I'll Have Another's Derby year did have a lot of 2011 BC Juvenile competitors doing well in three year old races.

Hansen
2nd G1 Bluegrass Stakes
G3 Gotham Stakes
2nd G3 Holy Bull

Union Rags
G1 Belmont Stakes
3rd G1 Florida Derby
G2 Fountain of Youth

Creative Cause
2nd G1 Santa Anita Derby
G2 Sane Felipe
3rd G2 San Vicente

Dullahan
G1 Pacific Classic
3rd G1 Kentucky Derby
G1 Bluegrass Stakes
2nd G3 Palm Beach

Take Charge Indy
2nd G1 Clark Handicap
3rd G2 Fayette Stakes
G1 Florida Derby

And that was the top 5 - the you had Optimizer, Drill, Alpha and Daddy Long Legs who all won graded stakes races.

Not so much last year.
"And Allah took a handful of southerly wind, blew His breath upon it, and created the horse.... Thou shall fly without wings, and conquer without any sword. Oh, horse" - old Bedouin saying.
