Any opinions on that last Lukas quote essentially saying you need to be a standout in a sub par year to win the TC? I do not particularly care for the current TC format, but my guess is one of these (I have no idea which) emerges from Kentucky as a true leader, and maybe the format works in the KD winner's favor this year as a few of these knock themselves out chasing the winner. Given the lack of depth in the TC prep races run so far, the point to the Belmont angle may not be a factor this year. We'll see, but I think this may finally be the year.

Then again, the poster who said watch this one wire the field in the Belmont may be right. My ADD doesn't allow me to delve into the super world, but I'd pick him as my super crasher if I had to. With few in here that have any experience against large fields, perhaps his race experience in some large fields get him there.

Good luck to all
