One of my concerns with Emcee is that he's obviously fragile, and the thought that he was given a freshening is idiotic, because he had works between his last race and now then was stopped on. Thus, you have two favorites who admittedly did not bounce out of their last races well.
Lost amid the Belmont day races was the quality of the race Justin Phillip ran in the True North. The Monmouth race he came back in is a throwout in my opinion, and his 3rd place finish in the King's Bishop over this track was very strong. He's the other horse to me in a race with only 3 potential win candidates.
