And he wins with devastating ease......

 Never take a horse race as appearing like a walk-over.  That is certain to give the "kiss of death".  Though he is the biggest and probably strongest in field, never overlook the smaller horse s instinct to run also.  So many factors enter; rain of course, the 7 hole will allow pinching as what happed to Pyro and Col.  As a casual weekend rider, anytime a horse is thrown off stride 90pct of time he can throw it in .

We all will want a triple crown winner to rid the 30 year jinx.  But some owner/jockey will attempt to be a spoiler. Often the spoiler is remembered more.  If Brown l;oses Sat, they should bypass the Belmont for this grind of 3 races is way too much for the normal 3 year old. At 1-5 we will watch this from afar!!
