You were right about Eddington and I was wrong. Hope you had a ton on him.

A leftover discussion from last night about 3yos that sticks in my craw. I said last weekend that Lost In The Fog MAY be the best of this crop. Some took exception to that then and moreso after yesterday.

Well,Lost ITF does what he does better than any colt I can remember. OTOH you only have to go back to last year for a colt who's at least the equal of and probably superior to, Afleet Alex.

When they go into the gate for the Belmont the experts and gurus will be saying, Oh, who can possibly beat Afleet Alex?

Well that depends. Are we talking about the AA of the Preakness or the AA of the Derby?

The AA of the Ark Derby or the AA of the Rebel Stakes?

The AA of the Hopeful (where he ran a very game race for those of you who don't remember) or the AA of the Champagne ( where I believe he got beat by Proud Accolade- what's HE done since).

I don't know whether he's going to win the Belmont and neither does anyone else. That's why they have to run the race. But this time last year Smarty Jones, after annihilating the field in the Preakness, looked awfully tough. Yet he found the Belmont a pole too long.
