I think a part of it is also that to an extent we're not ready to believe that this horse is the best of the the 3-year old crop.
He won the SA Derby, but wasn't bet much in the Derby.
Bode runs the huge Derby, so Bode is the favorite in the Preakness. But IHA wins.
Now IHA should actually be the favorite, but with history against him- people are still kinda like "I'll believe it when I see it"
Almost kinda like a War Emblem feel to it? Is he really the best? Is he really gonna pull this off?
But yeah, I'll buy a souvenir win ticket
