    My prediction? Nope.

    That's how these things always seem to go. The horse that won at the Derby and Preakness winds up finishing middle-of-the-pack.






    Of course, I'd like to see a triple crown winner.

    We're due, and all reports say I'll have Another is running in fine form. No Bodemeister to worry about. It seems inevitable.

    So I'll give it a 50/50 chance of happening. :ramen:

    I think he really has a shot. He's also a strong closer and I don't think the distance will be an issue. I have a $10.00 win ticket just as a potential souvenier.

    Nope scratches will get a refund. I think Paynter will do it now. Going to the OTB now to put some money on him and a bunch wild 10 cent superfectas. I also think the 2 horse is very interesting.

    Bodemister. Number one until the final lengths. Now without I'll Have Another coming up on his heels he might just finally win

    You mean Bodemeister (correct spelling) isn't running? I hadn't heard that HE was scratched, or even not entered.

    His trainer announced he would not run the Belmont after losing the Preakness.
