That was a freaking terribly run race by everyone. I'm not sure how that is not obvious to anyone who has watched racing for any number of years.

I singled out Tonalist before the race because he was the one newcomer, or relatively unknown quality coming into this race, having never faced the horses who were already running in the other TC races.

Clement told a friend of mine that he liked his horses chances alot in the Belmont, but let's face it, that race he ran would not have touched CC in either the Derby or Preakness.

We all praised Chrome for being a good horse who used his quality to work out great trips in Derby and Preakness and rightfully so. His trip in Belmont was fine he simply wasnt best.
