Back to Back Triple Crowns?
After 37 years of drought, can we do it twice in a row?

Yes, not because AP and Nyquil were/or are so great BUT because the rules suck and the crop sucks (and in AP's case-connections were motivated to lose & there were "extenuated BS circumstances to support a TC).

When all the horse has todo is break in the front find a clear path and just keep going on concrete, it's just like last year so why not.

No. Nyquist is a great horse but he ran out of gas in the finish, Exxagerator almost got him. So I don't think Nyquist will stay the 1 1/2 miles in the Belmont Stakes.

Absolutely nothing. Except give NYRA some profit for the year as the TC was alive into the Belmont.

Nyquist will pull a Seattle Slew & win the triple crown undefeated.

Nyquist has an excellent chance in the preakness but that's where his triple crown win streak will end.

I think a rested closer gets him in NY...especially if Exaggerator skips the Preakness, which I am sure the connections will do.
