Who is still doubting?
Regardless of what happens at Belmont this hors ewill go down with some special horses. So who is still doubting this horse?

That was my exact thought when I read that post. 
Edit to add that I liked both SJ and BB, so not a hater of either horse.

Better then both...?BB went on to win on the turf with one career loss and dominate in both derby and Preakness..
Thats a fanatic statement...
Smarty Jones was huge in his Belmont loss..
If big if CC struggles in the Belmont to a 4th place finish will you still have the same opinion..

Chrome is absolutely a great Thoroughbred and defines what a champion in our sport is to many of us.
I hope he goes on to win the TC. If he accomplishes this, the story will last generations. And....I can't wait for the movie. 
But one step at at time. The Belmont is a huge obstacle. Can he overcome it? Possibly. And that's the best we can say until we see him run at Belmont.
What a great Preakness. I really enjoyed it. I didn't win much, but the entertainment value was almost priceless to me.

He's far more push button than either of those two.

All those words still don't negate his opinion that CC is better than BB or SJ.

Will have to disagree. The numbers say otherwise, and this year is a very uninspiring crop of 3 yr olds.

I'm still doubting. Terrible crop. No surprise really, that CC ran well today - it seems like at least half the Derby winners that run in the race hit the board.
Not so in the Belmont.
I said it before, and I'll say it again. I'll be shocked if he wins the Triple Crown. Very, very, very few horses have run well in all three legs of the Triple Crown over the last 20 years. CC has "looked good" winning the first two legs, but I think against very suspect competition. We'll see how he likes 12 furlongs, against some horses more rested, and then we'll see what he's made of....

I agree. Smarty was a hell of a horse BB too just a bit more one dimensional.
I hate comparing horses from a decade ago to those running now. Unless of course its Ghostzapper and everyone is still running for 2nd .
