This is why capping the Belmont Stakes is an entirely different exercize than looking at PPs for prep stakes races, and even the KY Derby or Preakness. Using the latter approach, Justify towers (actually sky-scrapers
) over this field---by a huge margin.
Graveyard of champions indeed.
However, I think one has to have a better *reason* than one o' those historical angles (no different from *curses* we've talked about) to believe he can be beat.
