Gowand,
I think the jury is still out on whether AA can be a "freak". Obviously, after the Derby, nobody thought so, but today's race was awfully impressive.
I had bet Greeley's Galaxy, so I was watching him make a move appproaching the turn and for a second I thought I had a shot, then a blur of horseflesh shot by like a rocket. I wasn't sure who it was at the time, but it was an awe inspiring acceleration. To then be almost knocked off his feet a few seconds later, only to recover and still win by open lengths, is very very impressive.
Who could you possibly make a case for in the Belmont, to beat this horse?
I say nobody, unfortunately.
