I'd say CD is making a big class jump in the Belmont.

Who exactly has Big Brown beat that we are supposed to be impressed with? Mint Lane and Icabad Crane are relatively equal horses and both were beaten by a similar number of lengths. Neither have beat anything and when they square off it will likely be the best horse either of them have faced. I, for one, am strongly hoping Big Brown loses cause if I have to hear anymore "best since Spectacular Bid" and "up there with Secretariat and Seattle Slew" comments about Big Brown I'll vomit.
