You mean his really good 9th at Pimlico and after he took out half the field in the Classic?
Riiiight.

It won't happen, don't worry.

Put down the crack pipe.
Do I want him to win?
YES.
Do I think he deserves to win?
YES.
Will he?
No. Bayern will.
I would rather see Dan win again or hell... Demonstrative (won the Turf Writers and the Lonesome Glory and 2nd in the Smithwick and don't worry I know that won't be happening. Just saying I would prefer him to Bayern).
Bayern is a very good horse who, like CC, ran at different tracks and all year.
The thing that no one is mentioning (and I don't believe it's the deciding factor BUT I think it might make it easier for people not to vote for him) is his idiotic owners bitch-fit of a rant... the finest example of poor sportsmanship I have ever witnessed in my life. What an embarrassment.
Love Chrome and always will. Hope I'm wrong but I think we should live with the reality that Bayern might pull a Bayern and steal this (too).
Hey I kept my mouth shut after the Classic... gotta say it one time.
