The danger obviously is that if one of the forwardly placed horses like Charitable Man is able to rate on the pace, they can be hard to pass in the stretch.
With this triple crown crop, sometimes we are getting too complex with all the different scenarios.
It may just be a case of whether or not a few of these guys will "fire" over the distance, much more than the advanced things like the fractions and who benefits the most.

i agree with you and CM just might have plenty of kick left,i just think in this long of a race standard pace set-ups can go awry. i feel the pace can be too fast or honest or too slow, and think the too slow does,nt always favor the leaders, either way fun talking about it and good-luck to you on belmont day.
