I agree, a joke. They let him walk out front again and no one challenged him. These jocks have clocks in their head and see how fast a horse is moving in front of them. Came home like that because he was allowed to walk and have a full tank of gas for the stretch. I guess he's a TC winner though and racing fans who were mad in recent years at racings hard TC requirements, got their TC winner.
Anyway, Congrats Baffert!

A joke? More like these jockeys knew they had absolutely no shot to beat him. He, as I have been saying for a long time, towers over every horse he has faced.

Yep.
Some people are still in denial that Truman beat Gov. Dewey in '48 too.

So because they KNEW they has no shot to beat the horse, they stayed off him though slow fractions? Doesn't seem right? They just gave up in the beginning of the race? At least challenge a horse you know is walking. He walked and they knew he was walking. These are seasoned top jocks with clocks in their heads. He we all have different opinions. Got to have debates

You want my honest reaction? I wasnt impressed. I saw an average horse just get treated like he is Secretariat. That was a joke of a boat race. John V must of been rooting for jose or something because he let him crawl out there for 3/4 of a mile.
Nobody will like my answer but it's the truth. To me, that's a tainted TC. 3 slow paces. 1 where 10 horses got ****ed at the gate. 1 win vs a mdspwt pig and a joke of a belmont where speed was more than benefitted.
I said it before and I'll say it again. if he wins, I eat crow but if he wins while walking on a slow pace, it won't be an earned win.
this was more of a : "let's give one out for the good of racing"

AP did his thing and ran a win. No doubt. Congrats to him and the fans. Have not said a bad word about him as a horse. Just thought the race was a bit crazy and slow. Also not only one saying it was slow. Many have said they were not impressed with the racing and that they let him get out front an walk. Was just agreeing with some others. Just my opinion though.

And they wanted a decent check. I think they knew where they fit

What no Jerry Bailey wiling to sacrifice his horse to give some other Jock a shot at the money, oh no!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
Unless he's Bayerd and he whacks out half the speeds in the classic, he has no shot in the classic.
And before anyone says I was wrong today.....I said...His only chance is to hit the lead, PRAY JOHNNNY V chokes and he cakewalks around.
Guess what......It happened.
An average horse is getting treated like a champ, it's ridiculous.
It won't happen again when 5 million is on the line.

Incredible, Materiality fades to dead last yet people wonder why he didn't push the pace more.
