Completely disagree, and I liked his chances, but Union Rags always finds his own trouble. He has not improved since last year, and he is just going to always have a difficult time navigating big fields of good horses. I may have felt differently if he made an impressive move, but he never really took off. Creative Cause, Went the Day Well, and Dullahan all had more actual moves when going as far or further navigating the field.

The Belmont may be the only important race I would think Union Rags has much of a chance at.
