If- big, big if- MTB wins the Belmont, I think it would take an already accomplished 3yo winning the Classic to beat him for the 3yo colt Eclipse. The only 3yo colts who have enough on their resume now to even talk about getting in the mix later in the year are Quality Road, I Want Revenge, POTN, Musket Man, and Friesan Fire. If one of those were to win the Travers, another top race, and the Classic, it would be close. If QR or IWR came back with strong summer/fall campaigns, they would certainly have to be considered especially if they beat MTB head to head in races.
