Was there any doubt after the first today? Which by the way, was a super performance by Just Ben I thought. I loved his dam when she was running.

Yeah - Chip was nice ... and yeah ... on the biggest days ... the track is typically made very fast.
Every year going back almost as far as I can remember people complain about it at the Derby. Yet, you have had 7 of the last 12 Derby winners take the Preakness ... and of the 12 only Monarchos and Barbaro missed the board in the Preakness. You've had a wide variety of successful running styles as well...and considering the massive field size - you've had more fairly run races than you'd expect. I never got the complaining.
