Kentucky is 1 1/4th mile
Preakness is 1 3/16th mile
Belmont is 1 1/2 mile
That extra quarter mile could be everything but the way I'll Have Another caught and then pulled away from Brodiemister leads me to believe that he can do it.
34 years is too long!

| He had a beautiful run there at the end today. I didn't think he would catch Bodemeister coming off of the last turn, but he had me out of my seat at the last 50 feet! | |

I'm hoping he gets it done, but my money will be on a hanger on. | |

| Yea, but this horse is hitting the final gear about 150 to 250 feet from the finish on these first two races. | |

But I've also had tickets worth thousands turn into toilet paper over 2 furlongs. | |

| I love racing. I'm almost an addict. This is one of the weakest field of colts I can remember. Part of me wants to see a triple crown winner but part of me doesn't wanna see a colt like this win it.

The jockey knows the horse and the fact he's done the same thing in both races to get the win is the most exciting thing to me.
I hope he does it and goes down in the books with the rest. | |
