Union Rags
I remember another horse who won the Champagne with style. His name was Birdstone.

Don't think UR will run well with 1 1/2 mile. Maybe he's just a 10 furlong horse. But I seriously wouldn't count out Dullahan, though dirt may not be his best surfacee

Secretariat had a different dominating style in all three races that likely will not be seen again. His times have yet to be broken, especially the Derby and, of course, the Belmont. Hands down the best Triple Crown champion.

You guys said it. I think his Preakness was indeed the most impressive because of that move. He became more and more of a front runner during the crown. derby= came from behind in the last turn. preakness= came from middle in the first turn. belmont=stole the lead and never looked back

cocoa, TBDF, what got me was when Secretariat takes off running at the end, and he has less than a month to live and had laminitis. I didn't appreciate him when I was a kid, because I was such a Sham fan that I "hated" Secretariat, but when he is turned loose and runs for what had to be one of his final times, it hit me--I remember you, is what I immediately thought and all of those memories of that time flooded back.

Brian,, you brought tears to my eyes. This is what I've been feeling. This was not just "another Preakness". I thought I'll Have Another lost it before the turn. He was too far back, behind a monster who had it his own way. Bodemeister would not be coming back, and I could not believe my eyes when I saw I'll Have Another cut into that lead. It was inexcorable, but I still didn't think he'd get there until the last two jumps. It was the most amazing Preakness I've seen since Secretariat's.

Poetic, Brian. Watching that replay, it just made glad that someone had the talent to put all that I was thinking into words. I couldn't agree with you more. If I'll Have Another goes on to win the Belmont I think we can all say he certainly had to earn it every step of the way.

Great commentary Brian! I watch my DVR replay quite a bit, and I always get such a kick out of the fact that I enjoy watching it so much. I feel like I a newbie, not a fan/player/mutuel clerk who has numbly stared at a simulcast signal for over 25 years. I have not felt this way about a 3yo in a long time. Often enough a horse will get you excited, and regardless of how good they are, you just don't get attached. Not the case for me with I'll Have Another. I just want to wrap my arms around this colt, win or lose, and pepper him with hugs and kisses! It is so satisfying to see him run as he turns for home, legs flipping forward, ears pricked every which way, looking everywhere, but mostly ahead, and almost greenly, he runs the horse(s) in front of him down. And as you said, he just does it, not because the race set up for him that way. He is special. I am really looking forward to watching this horse grow. An expose in a few years as he romps in his paddock will find him to be a jaw dropping specimen of the perfect horse.

Because of lots of people don't do research before voting so they have no idea what they're doing. He's definatly one of my favorites. Great race horse, great sire. My grandfather was always talking about how close he and Native Dancer came to winning the Triple Crown and how they sometimes aren't given the recognition they deserve.

Both Northern Dancer and Native Dancer lost because of rider errors, in my opinion. Hartack completely misjudged the pace in the Belmont and cost Northern Dancer the TC. He would mess up again with Majestic Prince in 1969 allowing again to get caught with a very slow pace. Native Dancer lost the Derby because Guerin took him everywhere but the men's room. He was fouled at least twice and still managed to finishe second. Both deserve better scores.

I hate picking horses from a 6-horse field. So embarrassing when I wind up with the three that don't hit the board, but . . .I'll risk the shame anyway. Still deciding. Leaning towards Caleb's Posse, too, but I just like Jackson Bend as a sentimental fav.

Mary, Jackson Bend is right in the thick of it. This is a lot tighter race than it appears. I think JB as a 5yo is much better than JB as a 4yo. I don't know where Saginaw has been but he fits with those bloodlines. Sometimes a trainer can see a flaw in an otherwise good horse buy it, fix it and win with it. This is wide open and will go to which one gets the trip. Out of a six horse field I can see 5 contenders for the top spot and I'm on a roll again. I'll have to look at it a little deeper and from some different prospectives and go with the most probable one or two depending on the odds.

I totally agree Matt. I think THAS is starting to hit his best stride & Mott is the most dangerous trainer in the game when pointing for a specific spot. CP could win, but his BC Mile win was a result of a perfect pace setup, as well as the track playing to outside closers.
