he's a got a shot but it's gonna be tough. looked like he ran pretty hard in the Preakness. Victor had to use him to get position going into the first turn. Then he had to move again when Social Inclusion made his early move. then again in the stretch to hold off Ride on Curlin. hopefully he recovers well and can refill the tank in the next three weeks. but the Belmont field will be tougher. Danza, Wicked Strong and Commanding Curve will be rested and ready to go. and Tonalist could be a strong threat too. the thing i really like about Chrome is how tactical he is. he's like driving a car. Victor can put him exactly where he wants. push the gas a little and he goes...push the gas a little more and he goes a little more. i'm not confident but i will be rooting for him when they come down the stretch.
