What I was talking about with Union Rags was his breeding allowing him to get the mile and a half according to the chef de race website. Pretty sure he was a total throw off that info.
Palace Malice simply ran off in the Derby and figured IMO to run tons better in the Belmont with blks. off and a soft pace. My buddies and I keyed him in some exotics last year.
Spoke about Social Inclusion after the Preakness and my opinion has not changed. Should he run in the Belmont? Not off what I saw in the Preakness with the nerves and such but easy for me to say from the cheap seats isn't it. Don't know about the rider but IMO he did all he could with what he had in the Preakness. The horse came unglued in the post parade. I would have to assume he will again.
Sometimes when you turn down 8 million dollars for a horse, you let that guide your judgement which is usually a mistake. The horse should always guide your judgement, period. Again, easy for me to say.
It's chrome's ability to do it again and the riders judgement around the odd shaped track that will be the key to winning. He has proven he can beat them twice . It's obviously not as easy as it looks. Typically, nothing is.
