I don’t. It is too soon. I want it to stay hard.

Historically it was easier than in recent history. The 35 year gap was an anomaly.

I still don’t want it to happen so soon.

Sorry, too much OT in me.

I’m really interested to see how Justify does at Belmont. I feel like just a little more distance today and he loses.

Was not the same horse as in the Derby for sure.

He was definitely getting chased down. It would have only taken 10 more yards. Preakness, shortest track in the Triple Crown.



And he's going to be tired against horses that skipped the Preakness in the longest track by far.

I agree. In my opinion, I don't think Justify has it left for the Belmont. Only way I see it happening is on another muddy track but even then it will take a lesser field. He was getting caught and he'll be trying to do that again with fresher horses in 3 weeks.

Besides cashing a winning ticket, my other wish is for a dry track for the 3rd race.

I hate to be that way since wasn’t sure I’d even get to see one in my lifetime, but it is how I feel. I’ve been pretty meh about this whole run up
To the triple crown season this year.

When we do have another one I’d rather it be with different connections.

ran the exact same line as the derby. someone with two horses in the field is going to try and disrupt that line. either push justify way outside, or down to the rail.
