Judging from the way Espinoza worked him in the Derby and Preakness I think he's going to let Chrome go full bore down the back and to the wire. I look to see him follow pace till somewhere around the middle to 3/4 mark in the last turn then cut him loose.
I honestly believe he held him back so as not to show what he could really do which may have allowed the other owners/trainers/jockeys to devise a strategy against them. Victor is a very experienced jockey and certainly uses his smarts. He seems to have a good bond with Chrome which is important. We'll see if we can FINALLY have another triple crown winner!
