I lean this way.

Chrome had an easy trip in the Preakness and responded down the stretch when Curlin was closing.

The only way I see Chrome losing is if one of the jealous other trainers throws in one of his fast pace setting longshots to wear Chrome out early.

Does anyone else like my idea of fixing the TC by not allowing Derby horses to skip the Preakness and race in the Belmont? Basically if you skip the Preakness because you didn't win the Derby, you cannot race your horse in the Belmont. I don't mind new horses coming in Belmont because those horses would have run in the Derby if they were good enough to do so.

When did this become a regular practice?

I have been a big fan of this. What other sport allows new teams in the Championship Games?
