He ran well and was gaining in the end at the Derby. I have used that case to make a case for Belmont horses in the past, usually to no avail.

He also supposedly had a killer work the other day.

He's there running late everytime but usually with a decent pace ahead of him. He had plenty of pace to run into for the Derby. Let's see how he handles this race where the pace is not as hot.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

he seems to be a 'perfect drift' sort..on the dirt anyway..i like the jock sw. but just think others have more upside..

See him in the tri but can't see him winning

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

7-11 star dweeb could take out 6 horses at the break..

Yesterday when Romans was asked what Dullahan's best surface was, he responded:

"Belmont Dirt"

His confidence goes a long way in my book.

whats he gonna say..

[Rootdog1]

what a dilema....a triple crown winner but not a group that I want to represent the sport. I think I would prefer someone else to be the one to go down in history.

Fair point, but his work this week is certainly not in conflict....Additionally, he is on quite a roll recently on these big days....

Thought I could hear smoke once. But that was also the night I polished off three bags of Doritos.

blowing a 57 and change work before you run a mile and 1/2 isnt very smart..imo

I think it was 45 and change, but potatoes and potatos.

oh..thanks i didnt see it was 45..

[ateamstupid]

If he's to have any chance to win, he'll need to do it from closer to the pace than he's ever been around two turns. In a 12-furlong race with a projected moderate pace, that drop back and make one late run shtick isn't going to cut it. I just can't see it. I'll Have Another and Paynter both will get first run on him. Castellano has to hope neither of those two will get the distance.

[ArlJim78]

I agree with that, I don't see him running close to the pace then outfinishing I'll Have Another, and if he hangs way back to make a run I think he's doomed. Many people get all excited about closers having more distance to get the job done. not me.
