Sure if Mine That Bird wins the Belmont he becomes the big favorite. But, what if he doesn't win another race the rest of the year? What if a another 3 year old wins the Jim Dandy, Travers, Jockey Club Gold Cup and Classic? Hard to deny the award to him won't it be?

Especially if that were Quality Road and the horse beat Mind that Bird head to head in at least one of those races.
