once smart people come along and finally fix the stupid triple crown series by putting 8 weeks between each of the triple crown races, running them all at 8.5 furlongs, putting all of the races on the tires, and limiting the fields to only storm cats.....we'll have a tc winner.
until then it seems unlikely

Why only Storm Cats? When was the last time he had a Derby winner?

It often looks a lot more likely AFTER the Derby than before.

I don't see any of these being that good, but then again, War Emblem and Charismatic made runs at the TC because the entire crop wasn't that fast.

Curlin or Circular Quay wins the Derby while the other runs second. Now that we've established that much, let's examine the possibilities of a TC winner.
If Curlin wins the Derby: He'll come back and dominate the Preakness as CQ sits out the race. In the Belmont, Curlin is upset, either by CQ or a 30/1 (or more) longshot. If CQ wins the Derby: He'll come back and dominate the Preakness as Curlin sits out the race. In the Belmont, CQ is upset by a longshot, either Tiago or that McGaughey horse that ran second in the Wood. No TC winner this year.

Far more likely we'll have a triple crown number repeat 8-8-8. I'm really leaning towards 3-3-3. I've been following this number all season long and it looks very strong.
