i agree

the last effort by both Nyquist and Exxgerator were dismal, loosing to a 61-1 shot at 9f is dreadfull
if arrogate were to win against horses at 10f, albiet 1 turn, and a ITM show in the BCC sure would look good for him

Chrome is awesome...and won the awesome again 10-1..likely winner of the BCC and HOY

arrogate will not win off 1 grade 1 win
especially if nyquisr or EXX were to skip the BCC and run in the Clark at CD a grade 1, and win

arrogate needs a win in JGC, a ITM in the BCC AND a win in the clark to get the award.

The Flower Bowl looks to be very exciting.

In other news, winning a race against the competition that will be running in the JCGC should mean very little towards HOY honors.

because of the off placement of the starting gate on the turn in 1 1/4-mile races at Belmont, both horses will have to be extremely sharp coming out of the gate or get left hung out to dry going into the long run down the backstretch.

Trivia - What post positions did the last 3 winners of the BC Classic held at Belmont break from?
