I feel that Afleet Express has a shot to the title if he wins his next race and if that next race is the JCGC

I see what you are saying(travers + JCGC > Preakness + Haskell), but I think you'd then be discounting anything LAL did even before the TC races. That and LAL would have to fall over to lose the Indiana Derby, which won't add much to his resume, but it does add something.

Preakness and Haskell has been the recipe for success in Eclipse voting of late.

Not really. Big Brown and Rachel Alexandra recently. However their total accomplishments during the year dwarfed their competitors.

That said, it's going to take Afleet Express winning the the JCGC and Classic to wrestle the award away from LAL. Even then it might not be enough.

Here's what Einstein said about insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

So let's put that to use. You've been banned here repeatedly for acting like an idiot. Yet, everytime you come back you do the same things and get booted again.

So which one of us would be considered insane?

Agreed, but Curlin, though he didn't win it did run in the Haskell too. LAL would make 4 in a row to hit those two races and be a champ.

Considering they are two of the more important races for 3 year olds it makes sense.
