He's never had a Triple Crown race win, period.

My error, he won the Preakness and Belmont. That was the only one, he's never had a Derby winner.

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.

You like Zanjero too? He's as about as game as any of the contenders... that's for sure.

He seems to try hard... not saying he's the best thing since sliced bread, but at least he's got some guts. You know?

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.

In one of the greatest series of upsets in history....1-1-1 will win the triple crown overcoming the dreaded Ky Derby rail paranoia. I'm basing this on the number 1 hot streak at the BC last year. I think number 1 will take number 3 this year. (if Sedgefield gets post 1, I may be in trouble here!)

Is this the Rail Bias THEORY ?

I don't know, if Curlin or CQ does win the derby, this scenario sounds pretty on the mark to me. I buy it, at least in Curlin's case. I'm less sure CQ will be near the winner's circle, famous last words no doubt...

Agree that it's unlikely. But if Curlin turns out to be a super freak...there'll be a bunch of posts saying it was obvious in hindsight.
