Casino Drive: Defender of the Crown?

[justindew]

Just tossing it out there. No one else in America looks up to the task.

Have a nice day.

You are holding out hope that a horse with one career start - which came in Japan no less - can prevent a triple crown in a 12 furlong race?

Big Brown's hind shoes are turndowns - which are illegal in New York - I think Casino Drive is about as likely to stop him in the Belmont as the change to regulated back shoes will.

Casino Drive will have had two starts by the time the Belmont rolls around. One of which will have come over the track.

And I'm not hoping for anything.

IF big brown had different connections he would be easy to root for. sad that a nice horse is tied to this crew.

Harlem Rocker is the most likely Preakness spoiler.

If Big Brown makes short work of that field - they might have to take a page out of Dutrow's '05 Woodward playbook (run two rabbits to harass Big Brown from both sides) to beat him in the Belmont.

If Casino Drive wasn't out of Better Than Honour he'd not only be unheard of - but he'd still be in Japan.

Yeah.

It's not the horse's fault though.

Doubtful ain't one beats him in the Preakness.....now, the Belmont Stakes...that's another question!
