I am a big rags fan & still will be regardless who wins. If I H A beats rags I will just have to nod I H A is a better horse, but will still love them both.
At this point I H A is heads above the rest, should he not win the belmont this horse should still be respected.
At this point I H A is heads above the rest, even with a belmont loss this horse should still be respected.
I like Rags & still will no matter what happens, but judging by performance I have to put I H A in front of him now UNLESS he makes IHA fight for the TC or pull of the upset. I will not disregard rags but just simply have to say IHA is a better horse. I actually would like to see A down the stretch duel between IHA & Rags with IHA winning by a nose. So a horse with a big hart will capture america, be the next TCW & my rags will show everyone he is a good horse & does belong. Rags does have to have a good showing here to prove his talent, AGREED.
Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps God & the horse gods are simply smiling on this sport via I H A ! :)
Rags & Dullahan even paynter I THINK WILL MAKE THIS A VERY INTERETSING RACE.
Me personally am not a new fan to the horse, new to horse racing. Only started wagering & watching mid summer last year after watching the secretariat movie, I'm hooked. Even when i don't have $ to wager I like to watch. My wife had never been but said she had always wanterd to go to the kentucky derby. We were blessed to attend & plan to go again in 2013. In the mean time we'll be spending alot of time at hoosier park or hoosier downs.
It would be very exciting. I actually only started watching horse racing mid summer last year, but was hooked immediately. After researching and learning the history it would be great at this stage to actually see a triple crown winner.
Haven't givin up on you yet rags. I expect you to compete, if not prime for an upset june 9. This is no disrespect to the well earned favorite I H A cause he is a great horse on the verge of greatness & goodluck.
Yes I am a Rags fan as well. It's not so much of me voting against rags because i like both. I will admit to having rags b4 I H A in my top 10, but yes that hasa changed. Definately goodluck to I H A he's simply the better athlete right now.
