I'd like to see how many go onto the Preakness before I say a word about a Triple Winner. Does he have what it takes, maybe. History not on his side going into this one so he's already bucking the odds.

Wow. We don't even wait an hour to begin this conversation anymore huh?

He was certainly impressive today, but he doesn't strike me as an ideal candidate for the Belmont.

However, it might be nice to know who is actually going to run in those races before handicapping them.

There isn't a horse who can beat him if you count current form.

Will he hold together is the real question.

I hope not man, cause this horse is on his way to putting all the lazy/uniformed handicapper cliches to rest.

1) can't win from the 12 at GP
DONE

2) inexperienced horses can't win the derby ---look at CURLIN
DONE

3) can't win from the 20 hole at CD

DONE

4) inexperienced horses can't win the Preakness on short rest
??

5) ditto; and progeny index says he can't get the distance ---BELMONT
??

I can see all the BIGTIMERS next year (and on) not being able to rely on cliches when they can't get a gauge on a horse. Gonna be brutal, whether BB wins the TC or not. Imagine all that extra work.

Dosen't Seem Like A Candidate For The Belmont? You Are Just A Natural Pessimist. If After His Last Two Races At So Disadvantage
Post Positions, And The Ease He Beat The Best 3 Yr Olds , I Know You Are A Amateur And Don't Have The Eye For It. Sorry But I Just Had To Say That. Everyone On This Forum Took Shots At Him After What He Did In Fla Out Of Pp 12. What Does He Have To Do Fly In The Sky?????????????????

To answer the original question:

Please God, no.

I've never rooted so hard against a Triple Crown winner as I will be this horse. Between the super light foundation, the crooked trainer, and the obnoxious owners, I just can't do it.

Well said. The horse made me a believer, but the connections are real tough to swallow.
