![]() If Calvin had ridden MTB in the Preakness instead of RA would we be talking about a TC possibility this week?
Surely Calvin was worth at least a length to RA over an other jock in the field |

![]() If you replaced John Velazquez with someone rational on Big Drama the margin of victory very likely would have been larger.

![]() Thank god this is just a hypothetical.
It'd have been about my worst nightmare, after all of these solid to good horses failed to win the TC, to even have had to consider the possibility of MTB winning it. |

My worst nightmare just occured this week ... That 17 year old Romanian Tennis chick with the big rack just had breast reduction surgery. It goes from this ..... ![]() to there not being a good reason to ever watch tennis once again. |

So far MTB has proved to be a "solid" horse. He was a "solid" 2yo and now a classic winning 3yo who is probably the best 3yo colt in the country... MAYBE behind Quality Road. But the hypothetical question is incorrect. DrugS said it best but no one was beating Rachel that day... not even a jockey like Calvin Borel (like Albarado would have been worse??)

I agree... I think MTB is a solid and good horse. I'd like to see an absolutely spectacular horse win the TC though. The one that I thought had the goods was Point Given. Maybe Silver Charm a close second. The others were good... I thought Smarty Jones could have been listed with PG and Silver Charm if he had continued to race and race well.. Out of the blue question... Who do you think was the better race horse, Real Quiet or Victory Gallop?

If Calvin tried to save ground and go the rail or just off the rail, there's a good chance he would have finished 3rd or worse. |
