If they pace the front third of the pack and move at the right time he should have enough finish sprint to take Belmont. This could be a triple crown winner!
In the last 50 years only 3 have claimed the crown.....Secretariat in 1973, Seattle Slew in 1977 and Affirmed in 1978.
I really thought Smarty Jones was going to get the job done in 2004 but came up short to Birdstone at Belmont.
After doing a little curious research I find that from 1919 to present, only 11 horses have been able to capture the crown.
