I wonder if the rioters will riot outside Pimlico.

Nobody with any functioning gray matter thought he was going to win the Triple Crown. In fact, most people on here seemed to think his Derby win would be his last major win.

I think he wins TC I think CJ's fig is real not BSF. I was sure Big Brown would have won TC as well and Smarty Jones to boot so what do I know

What was CJ's fig Freddy?

Smarty should have won, but was clearly a target and has his chances sabotaged.

Big Brown? I would have been very surprised had he hit the board.

I certainly didn't, and maybe you didn't either. But plenty of somebodies did, betting Orb down to 3-5 in the Preakness. The media certainly bought the hype hook, line & sinker.
