I think he may prove an enormous disappointment. I hope he races enough for that to be proven one way or another. I'm skeptical of that too.

Chrome busted up his foot in the Belmont. Injury and bad racing luck are not that easy to predict in a race scenario.
You knew that though.
I'm not sure what other predictions I had about Chrome besides him being a can't lose in the Belmont, but it goes without saying that any horse can lose any race if they get hurt.
As for AP, it's pretty likely he will rate, as I can already see that he does rate on the lead. Again, you know that and are just being difficult about semantics.
I agree about being skeptical on his chances of having a long career. I don't know how good he is yet either, but he just might be even better than his hype.
I saw his Rebel a bit differently than apparently how most others saw it.
