He\'ll likely be my key.

Also on Medal Count too..Like Wicked strong also but too worried about the freak out in the post parade to take the chance.  Really don\'t like Chrome at this distance on big sandy.  Will run his race , have the lead at the top of the stretch but I think he gets eaten up by Medal count and Wicked Strong.  I think the key is the jocks have to realize their horses don\'t have to be taken way back in this race.  

Good luck everyone

If I bet him on short rest with a less than ideal post in Kentucky I\'d have to be an idiot to get off him now.

So now that he\'s inside and just worked 1:10 and change, any doubt he\'s going for the lead? Perhaps in step with Jim\'s thinking, this one becomes this year\'s Dunkirk.

Good Luck,
Joe B.

Horse has never broke well.  Going for the lead would be suicide with this one I think.  He\'ll be within 2 or 3 of the lead though I think.  Victor won\'t want to get pinned down so I see him staying in the 2-path. That rail will likely be open whenever Robbie decides it is time to go.  Good situation.

Don\'t think he\'s going to the lead due to the work it just seems this horse is feeling really good right now.  Should be in great position when they hit the top of the stretch as Chrome does his spurt away move and Robby goes outside to try to catch him.

Don\'t think so.   Ideally, he looms as \"lurk just off, with cover\" type on his best days, and that could work, here.  Anyone have the results of Friday\'s early Belmont betting on-track?
