I was under the impression it was Eddington
and Rock Hard Ten.

Oh yes. It was Smarty who got lucky in the
Derby with the mud. And since Birdstone did
not run in the Preakness... I guess ya just never
know.

Onion ran away from Secretariat and would not be
passed. Set a track record a few weeks before
I believe also.

Mysterious stuff.

Nobody knows how good Big Brown is or how good Casino Drive is. They are both undefeated and untested. Nobody should be shocked though if Casino Drive beats him, especially in the Belmont.

No, he ran in the Derby (badly), then Zito laid him off until the Belmont he thought Birdstone ran better with well-spaced races. Which is why he didn't race him again until the Travers, and then not again until the BC Classic.
