You, of all people, know that it's all, pretty much, about SETUPS.

Horses improve or take step backwards based on the way the race shapes up.

As for the other ****: I didn't bet the Derby. I'm only on record as thinking that Friesan Fire was a piece a ****.

Life is good when you don't have to justify some FIGURE. And even better when your opinion is not FIGUREcentric.
You are ahead of me... It only took me 2 TC races to figure out FF is a one track wonder. As far as Mine That Bird, If he wins the Belmont is most certainly should be 3 year old of the year.. He would be 1 length away from the Triple Crown. I go on record stating that his running style is absolutely not a fit in the Belmont.. You need to be on or near the lead and RA fits that perfectly.

I think everyone is being premature here. We need to see how those monsters that were beating him down in NM finish out the year. I mean, if Kelly Leak can beat him again, wouldn't that make him a legit contender? Mythical Power came back to dominate the Lone Star Derby. What if he beats MTB again in the Haskell and/or Travers? Wouldn't he have a case too? Let's see how things play out.
