There is no way Wise Dan can win right, his record this year is well...........kinda weak.

I dont think he can win. I dont care if he wins his next two starts.
With Kingman out now the Mile looks soft anyway, unless there is another Euro monster that I dont know about. I guess if they ran Wise Dan in the Classic and he won, that would be a different story.

Shared Belief on both accounts.

It's Shared Belief's to lose at this point, but Tonalist has an outside shot.

How is it not Bayern, Shared Belief, Tonalist or Chromes to lose?? If any of them win the Classic they should be HOY.

Bayern ain't winning the classic, and even if he miraculously did, it would still be a stretch for him to win HOY.

I would love to see Wise Dan win it for a third time but yeah I do agree. Don't think it's going to happen.

Gotta say I'm a little baffled by some of the Shared Belief comments. Don't get me wrong, he is amazing, but I don't see how he is more deserving than say California Chrome.

4 wins from 4 starts, including one allowance race, the Los Al Derby and sure... 2 G1s wins. All were at Cali tracks.

Compare this to CC...7 starts, 5 wins of which 3 were G1s... ran at Churchill, Belmont, Parx, Pimlico and at home... how is SB more deserving?

Maybe it's me...

I agree that he is a very unlikely winner of the BC Classic, but if he were to wire the Classic he is a lock for HOY.

I would be stunned if Bayern pulled it off in the Classic and California Chrome is going the wrong way in my opinion.

I guess you think Trade Storm is chop liver?
