“I didn’t go fast, but he didn’t need to go fast,” Borel said of the workout. “He gets more from galloping than he does from a work. He did everything the same, just like before the Derby.”

Good luck to him, probably at 3/5. Has Borel ever won a mile and a half race? They're different, as he will probably find out.

Good question. Probably did somewhere along the line. Street Sense didn’t run in the Belmont, as I’m sure you know.
IMHO, It’s Charitable Man’s to lose.

Since the article didn’t mention when the Belmont is being run (non-essential information, I guess), it is June 6th

Ya got me on that one. Somewhere between 5:30 and 6:30 pm.

Charitable Man wins the Belmont in a romp.
MTB needs a vacation, theres no chance he has another big one up his sleeve.

Well, although I agree that CM is the colt to beat, I’m not so sure MTB is worn out. Has only run 4 times this year. For a possible dual Classic winner, he’s relatively lightly raced.
To: gate2wire
Borel should have stayed on Bird in the Preakness. What a shame that Borel and the rest of us may have missed out on a Triple Crown winner.
MTB was closing fast on the filly, and w/ Borel on probably would have had a better run.

Rachel is the better horse. Borel knew what he was doing.
To: gate2wire
He has a lot of heart.
He dogs them out as he comes off the pace.
If he can handle the distance the rest of the pack will be slowing down when he kicks into passing gear. He runs his eyeball out.
He’s built like a router...which he is.
His trainer is a doll.
I could go on...

Having seen what happened at the Preekness, Borel should be savvy enogh to know that MTB is the better horse.

LOL, with a different rider he would be headed for the triple.

"Diminutive"? How big is MTB?

MTB was closing fast on the filly, and w/ Borel on probably would have had a better run. If he had been turned lose two seconds sooner he would have been in front by a quarter.
To: gate2wire
Thanks for the ping. I like Chocolate Candy. I am not sure if he will win the Belmont though. I like Mine That Bird a lot.
