i love Justify, but he is a big time bet against on Belmont day

You saw a good horse at the end of his form cycle today. That had to take a ton out of him.

Bravazzo may beat him in 3 weeks. Someone will.

I'm sure some people who bet Good Magic will complain but I'm glad Ortiz tested Justify, it made the race exciting. It was the only chance he had to beat him because no one else could run with Justify early.

Bravazo will run in the Belmont if he checks out okay after this race. Ran a really nice derby too.I think he can run all day and I don’t think this race took much out of him. And he’s double bred for the wet so if it comes up muddy again, who knows. Really hope he runs. Also he may of Z patterned in this race but I couldn’t see. He ran a big race

At the odds I am sure it is worth trying to beat him but this horse impresses the hell out of me...not sure he really relishes the off track goop it is his class getting him there. Outside all the way against real good horse who fades. this is something special.

He was the guinea pig. If they let justify lope out there, it wouldn’t have been a race.

Justify looked tired and I dont think it was a distance issue. Maybe this was his worst career race and he just needs the 3 weeks.

I would like to see a race where he can set the pace rather than dueling.

Horses that won both Derby and Preakness only since 2000

2002- War Emblem (finished 8th at Belmont Stakes)
2003- Funny Cide (finished 3rd at Belmont Stakes)
2004- Smarty Jones (lost Belmont Stakes to Birdstone)
2008- Big Brown (DNF Belmont Stakes)
2012- I'll Have Another (did not race in Belmont Stakes due to injury)
2014- California Chrome (finished 4th at Belmont Stakes).

It's always tough to close the deal. New shooters coming in 3 weeks.

He was only beaten a length.

It's not like it wasn't a sound strategy.

Both horses appeared to bounce and still had class to carry them.

Lukas will need a rabbit and that probably won't work either since Justify can rate. Smith went head to head today because the track was leaning so hard to speed. Justify won gallop out too.

He was tired, no doubt about that. Probably was his worst career race. I don’t think he’s got the foundation to win the grueling test that is the Belmont. Those big turns. If he gets caught in a duel, he won’t win in my opinion. I hope someone’s got the guts to go out there with him. I don’t want him to get an easy lead.

Smith said post race the horse was tiring. Baffert said he would only run in the Belmont if the preparation goes well.

Read the tea leaves here....

Win or lose, Justify will at least bring attention to our sport even if its only for 3 weeks. Bound to get some new customers out of that.
