seriously tho...sometimes horses lose. he might. there may be no reason why, other than another horse had a better day.

i know rupert (for example) thinks the best horse always wins, but we all know that's not the case. secretariat lost 1/4th of his races. why? so, excuses can be made, but sometimes stuff just happens. so many, many things can cause it, or a combo of the same.
i hope chrome wins it, mainly due to the backstory of the horse itself. i think commercial breeders have done more to harm this industry than any other person or group that can affect the sport. super trainers are a close second, with their belief in minimal racing. this horse would show that good horses can come from nowhere, and that it's a good thing to let them grow up outdoors, run at two, and get all the things that create a strong horse that can handle racing more than a couple times of year.
now, if chrome loses, it would be a shame if some discounted everything he's managed thus far. he's a blue collar horse, and i appreciate horses like him a lot more than some of the others that have come down the pike.
