Triple Crown?

Granted, he was never pressured and just did his own thing. But my gosh, the rest of them are indeed proving themselves terrible!

Glacial?

The horse is a beast, there was nothing "glacial" about his run today.

I do hope a horse knocks this guy off. It's gonna be tough tho.

I think Col John can do it. For sure his connections have much much more class than IEH or whatever they call themselves.

Yeah, and which horse is going to get it done? Denis of Cork?

Not tough, impossible.

This is just a really bad crop with one stand out.

Two standouts, Dalakhani, it's just that one won't be able to run.....

triple crown (barring injury) is a forgone conclusion. In saying that, it doesnt mean that he is better than any of the other horses that looked great winning the derby over the last couple of years only to come up short. Rather, it is more a reflection on how bad the rest of this crop is. There is no one running that is even close.
