Curlin is a nose away from great doubt. He is also a nose away from 2 out of 3 TC wins. And if latter happened, the Derby stampede would have had people feeling deprived of a TC winner. The more I look at the Belmont, the more I still wonder. We had horses just absolutely walking with two under relaxed control, the others straining. Almost 1:16 at 6f... holy cow. Much worse than a Turf race.
So on a track that plays to speed, if Curlin wins this off this rest... Total respect. I dont have it now.

My opinion is that Curlin does not get to the winner's circle today and that AGS does not hit the board. We'll find out if Cable BOy is the goods by dinner time. Hard Spun will have first crack at the likely pacesetters Xchanger and CB. Hopefully, he can outlast a swift moving Curlin to his outside. HS/Curlin/Cable BOy. Tables are turned today.

Nothing would surprise me too much here. but at 9F on this track i think Hard Spun might have an advantage. i guess i'll predict that he finishes 1 or 2.
I'm still a little suspect about how good AGS is, and Curlin may not be cranked. HS / Curlin-AGS-CB or Curlin-AGS / HS

no way i would argue who's better between hard spun and curlin, but my problem was the 'different zipcode' comment. no way curlin has shown he's in a different zipcode than anyone else in the top tier.
of course that could all change today, but hard spuns chances only got better with stormellos defection.
