Casino Drive broke his maiden in Japan, by a ton.
Won the Peter Pan last weekend(ridden by Desormeaux), pretty easily.
Two races, two big wins.
Out of the same mare as Rags to Riches and Jasil. Last two Belmont winners. Interesting

Thanks for that info,it jogged my memory , now just remembering the commentators at the Belmont mentioned those facts, esp. the interesting one of the lineage and its Belmont history....a more interesting fact is that Desormeaux rode him in the Peter Pan. Maybe Casino Drive will “recognize” him in the Belmont and freak out....just watched the YouTube footage of the Peter Pan, and it looks like a good race, to be sure, but one where his speedball stablemate set it up for him to close into. SO—so far, I don’t think anyone like him is going to upset Big Brown in the Belmont.
