Z can get it. Lucky is more proven then Blame to get it IMO.

QR, well QR has run a race at 10f that might be good enough to win this thing, but people still question the distance. What was wrong with his JCGC last year? Im really curious of this? Why is Blame wanting this such a given. The way he is always hard ridden, and his plodding grinding style IMO is not suited for 10f chasing QR and with the runs L@L and Z will surely come with. Of the big 4, Blame is most likely not to show up IMO.

If you start out thinking he ran like s.hit, we'll probably not agree. But I didn't think his JCGC was bad. He held second, came home quick to a loose on he lead horse that loves Belmont.

Just by looking at his races it seems like he'll have no problem gettin one more furlong. Out of the 5 contenders I have in mind the only one with a slight distance concern is Quality Road. But I think Pletcher is going to have him in fine form. I think Pletcher is lining up for a real strong day (s)
