Before Kentucky Derby, 19 possible outcomes -- now, only Mine That Bird can possibly win Triple Crown. Odds are definitely against it happening this year, or any year.
I hope Mine That Bird is favorite in 12 days! I am Big Drama fan and his connections may enter him in Preakness. So, I could get more value for my opinion (if it is correct one).
And, several new "shooters" will definitely appear for Belmont Stakes. Twelve furlongs is big task for any 3-year old thoroughbred -- colt, filly, gelding or ridgling.
Finally, at least we know MTB is not a breeding play. So, if he is real deal, we will see him at age 4 and beyond. I see that as very positive story if it should unfold in that manner.
