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

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

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

TGJB: 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.

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

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

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

joemama: 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.

jerry: Fair comparison.

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