The classic this is setting up to be the best field since '98. Shared Belief, CC, Palace Malice, Game On Dude, Wicked Strong, Danza, WTC.. Geez! Thats just a few to name..
I don't think so. even. the 2003 classic (pleasantly perfect) and 2002 (volponi) still gathered more grade 1s amongst the contenders. This year's may be interesting but there have been way better classics
Why did you include 7YO G.O.D in your list. He was comprehensively beaten in the 2012 & 2013 BCC when was younger. GOD will never win against top class competition going forwards..
p.s. cc ran 1:47:52 so it was a slower time than shared belief....I for one will love to see shared belief and cc hook up pre BC classic but its very unlikely
this horse came home in 12 seconds flat!!! 5 races total combined margin of victory OVER 30 lengths, he has NEVER felt the whip yet, he would spit out California Chrome like a bad piece of gum, dirt, poly, now 9 furlongs (and 10 doesnt look to be a problem) if your best older horses are game on dude, mucho macho man & will take charge & your best 3yos are calif chrome & tonalist this horse should stay undefeated a VERY long time!!!
I've been on hand for both Shared Belief and CC's races and Shared Belief laughs CC off the track. CC may win Best 3YO based on early body of work but there is no doubt in my mind that the true competition for best 3YO goes through Shared Belief and Untapable
What about Tonalist? he was just as impressive in the Peter Pan as SB in Los Derby. He has won two 9F & a 2F race in 5 starts. I think he will dominate the big races at Saratoga and be right in the mix..
It will certainly be a good second half to the year! Tonalist can improve dramatically but the way SB moves he does exert an ounce of unnecessary motion. Poetry in motion
hhaha, I love the way you make cc sound like he's nothing...cc beat candy boy in the same way at the same distance....who has shared belief beat so far? I'm not knocking him BC he's obviously very talented but don't go around throwing dirt on cc names like he isn't the 3 y.o horse of the year so far....
I agree CC is the leading 3YO male to date. However, if Tonalist dominates Saratoga which it appears he will, the champion 3YO landscape will change in his favor. He like Shared Belief has only made 5 starts. He is ahead of SB as he has defeat the top rated 3YO in a TC race.
Chrome's performance in the TC was aided and abetted by the absence of Constitution, Tonalist, Shared Belief, Honor Code and Top Billing due to set backs. He is not as good as he appears. The Derby was completed in 2:03.66. Do you believe that time would have handily defeated the horses mentioned above? He won the Preakness by 1 3/4L defeating a horse that is yet to win a graded stakes. All that shines isn't chrome.
Kerry Pal He can only beat the horses that show up... they weren't there. Why should he waste energy in the Triple Crown series beating the field by more than he needs to?
