I hope CC does it. By a good number of lenghths too. That way me keeling over dead won't be caused by CC in a head to head dual in the stretch.
Yeah, I hear you - this close could be lethal for many of us:

Especially if the photo is of Medalist and Wicked Strong...

Read this insight written by Art Parker. Not sure I completely agree but it did make me laugh.

Before the Preakness I had my say and Chrome defeated a less than stellar field, which included runner-up Ride On Curlin, a colt that has never won a graded stakes. That detail was a repeat of the Derby. Commanding Curve, the Derby runner-up, has never won a graded stakes either. And there is no doubt that in Baltimore, Chrome had another perfect trip. Let’s face it, thus far California Chrome is as lucky as a pothead with a marijuana prescription.

Funny how really good horses always seem to get those perfect trips.

"lucky as a pothead with a marijuana prescription".

Because those are really hard to come by.

It's not that I disagree with his point. I just wish he had picked an actual analogy.

If California Chrome wins I hope he admits that he managed to climb the anthill.

I told Victor to let C.C. to get in a comfortable rhythm. Stay 2-3 lengths behond the leaders. Stay in the 2 path, don't go wide. Wait till the top of the stretch and pounce!
