Wicked Strong is still the best 3-year-old IMO. HUGEEEEEEE run in the Kentucky Derby to even sniff the other horses from that outside spot. Will be much easier at the Belmont for him.

I have win bets on Wicked strong and Tonalist.

I will be happy if California chrome wins too. Surely one of the three will come through

Yeah this is one of those bets where I'll still be happy if I lose as long as Chrome takes the Triple Crown. I want Wicked Strong but I'll gladly pay my bet amount to see a horse finally get all 3.

Wicked Strong, California Chrome, Commissioner, Medal Count.

Superfecta box (assuming I make it to a book in time).

Key, he is a very good horse, but sooner or later even the best throw a bad one in. I'm betting on that today. The pace should set up well for him. If he fires he is wins it.

Awesome horse, I just think Wicked Strong is better. General A Rod could go balls to the wall with the pace and one of the deep closers could have a shot at beating him late. You never know with horse racing. Lots of things have to set up perfectly.

Lots of people like Tonalist but I tossed him completely. High Bayer last time out but the track was super sloppy. Has never been impressive at all on fast tracks. Weather at Belmont is nice. I don't get why he's so hyped.

Agree with the others. Nobody is saying he's not a Very Good horse. Shit before the derby a lot of people thought he wasn't that good. I said I thought he is the Real Deal.
But I'm not betting on a 1/9 shot and winning 20 cents on every $2 bet.

His racing style is set up for Belmont and has Speed. and he will need that speed to leave out of the 11

why aren't people just betting the future for Will California Chrome be a Triple Crown Winner? ( I believe its +125ish at some books).

I am not a horse bettor so ignore me if I am missing on how this would be a better bet than to bet him to win with little profit per each $2 bet.
