These two are exciting!

I disagree. I think it's much more likely this year relative to most other years

While the quality depth of this year's crop logically makes it more difficult to win the Triple Crown, we may actually have race horses that are good enough to do it. Despite a lot of close calls, no Triple Crown winner has been just a "very good" horse who took advantage of a weak year.

Trading victories after the TC? I'd put the over/under on the times they meet on the track after the TC at .5, and I'd bet the under.

And I'd have the same over/under even if I knew for certain that both finish the year.

Well, they do have the same trainer. Why would they face each other other than the BC?

good point but that does not necessarily mean they wont race each other. if they run in all 3 races they will be on the same kind of timeline barring any physical issues. i think that the owners still want to win races too. like the jockey gold cup, the haskell etc...

closest ive seen recently has to be the street sense, curlin, hard spun year...but i think these two may be a bit better. and yes i understand they didnt have the same trainer....and what about a trainer switch?....could happen.

Judging from all the hoopla, it seems AP and Dortmund are going to be WAY shorter prices than everyone else in the field. Must be that East Coast Bias.
