I don't really agree...

I can see this being a slower-paced race than most people are anticipating. What if Teuflesberg doesn't get in (it's unlikely that he does at this point)? Then what? That leaves horses like Stormello, Cobalt Blue and maybe even Liquidity to set the pace... I think the winner this year will come from a horse with some tactical speed rather than a closer type. That leaves horses like Any Given Saturday, Hard Spun, Scat Daddy, Cowtown Cat, Nobiz and Curlin... the deep closers may have a tough time.
