HELLOOOO!!! Is everybody forgetting two major things??? It is supposed to be this difficult to win thats why it is the most prestigious and sought after achievement in our sport. This period of time will only make when it actually happens all the more special and good for the sport.

The second point is a little bit more trivial however nothing but the truth. IF yeah I know but IF Kent Desormeaux hadnt moved at the 5/8THS POLE!!! Let me say it again 5/8THS POLE. We wouldnt even be having this conversation. His decision to chase after Grand Slam and Chelito two horses who had no chance at making the distance is beyond me. Clearly the modern horse is capable, we were a head bob and a major human error away. Classic Tom Durkin, "Kent D has guided the derby winner and the Preakness winner to the outside for a clear shot at the lead and he's moving early with 6 furlongs to go!" "Real Quiet now makes a powerful run for the lead with 5 furlongs to go!" and lastly, "a picture is worth a thousand words this photo is worth 5 million dollars! OH NO! " One of Tom's best calls and he couldn't be more dead on, the oh no is hilarious, he knew Kent screwed it up terribly and he showed it through his call. I don't think the Triple Crown is impossible and I don't think we will have to wait too long for another one.
