nobody is saying Casino Drive is the best horse ever. but he has an outside chance.

did anyone really think Smarty Jones would lose? Casino Drive has only raced twice, how do any of us know what his true potential is?

did anyone think majestic prince would lose? spectacular bid? pleasant colony, silver charm, real quiet? hell, barbaro was given the tc after his derby win. a lot of people didn't even want to wait for the preakness. smarty was a shoe in, remember penny chenery loaning the overgirth for smarty? oh, he'll do it, they all said. no one can beat him, he's much the best. i've seen/heard that so many times.

hey, maybe this time it'll happen. but maybe it won't-which is far more likely.

Exactly.

Birdstone was not as good as Smarty. Casino Drive probably isn't as good as Big Brown. Doesn't mean he can't beat him in the Belmont.

How do we know Birdstone wasn't as good as Smarty Jones?

Birdstone beat Smarty?
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.

Zito knows!

He was a little thing with a big heart..Not unlike English Channel.. I think his Champagne was a a very good performance indeed. I guess he had a bunch of physical issues which precluded a big career?
