Anything is possible but I do not expect him to win. As I have said before, I think when a horse wins the first two legs he is usually pretty knocked out for the Belmont. Not only that, I think the distance is a little long for CC. I'm a big fan of CC. I liked him in the Derby and Preakness but I don't like him in the Belmont at all. There will be plenty of fresh faces in there: Tonality, Bay of Plenty, possibly Candy Boy, and Commanding Curve to name a few.
Going 1 1/8 miles to 1 1/4 miles when he's fresh, I obviously think CC is the best horse. But going 1 1/2 miles when he's not fresh, I'll take my chances going against him. I will actually be surprised if he wins. To say it is difficult to win the TC is a huge understatement.
