no, i wouldn't think winning the tc alone would guarantee hoy honors. it would go a long way towards it.
ieah says they fully intend to go on with the horse post-belmont, if all is well with the horse. but what else does anyone expect them to say? if he quits after the belmont(which win or lose i think will happen) and curlin wins the stephen foster and follows with something later this year....i expect curlin to get it. it should be for a years' worth of effort, not five weeks.
