He could've run around again

No whip, only shown, ears pricked at finish, waiting for somebody to beat, truly remarkable

Can\'t wait to see his name along side with the likes of Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Secretarait, Citation ,War Admiral......

No horse looked more a cinch for the TC than Big Brown so CC has to show up AGAIN!....Herculean task.

I took a shot at BB. Smarty was the one that looked the toughest to me. Some of the ones you mentioned, Commanding Curve and a lot of racing will make this one a bitch.

Not a fan of one run closers in the Belmont.CC will need to run his best to win,imo!

Big Brown? I thought the conversation at the time was that KD stiffed him, lost shoe and all, no?

Finished as strongly as he started. Never seen a horse finish this race with so much energy. Good luck to all challengers.

For those that remember lets not forget what happened to War Emblem. He was left \"toiling\" in the words of Tom Durkin in the stretch after having a bad start on the sandy strip at Belmont. 2002 Belmont Stakes.

Fair comparison.

I think California Chrome\'s jockey remembers that one.
