Jack of all Trades Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 First of all, no he will not win the race IMO. Racing as much as he has in the last 3 or so months will take its toll. I like Vino Rosso and Blended Citizen. Also give a chance to Hofburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75center Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Not a bit impressed with this field but I still think Justify gets beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not picked a Derby winner since Sunny's Halo I think, but have nailed the Belmont winner more than a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatz Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 And The handicappers on this thread missed how effortless Justify ran in the previous races. This was his best run yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Schue Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It was weird in that he went off to that fast sub-24 first quarter, and after he slowed the pace, nobody seemed interested in making him work harder for it. Very impressive nonetheless. Once he slowed down the pace and nobody bit for the lead, he had plenty of gas in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantmanky Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 And The handicappers on this thread missed how effortless Justify ran in the previous races. This was his best run yet. I said he didnt run full speed at the derby, but he had to run harder in the Preakness. I didnt think he would do it but he did, awesome thing to witness.

TheDeuce Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 He won this easily. Mike Smith didn’t even ask him until they were on the stretch. Probably could have won by more if he really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomer Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just read Justify May be retired...has recurring swelling in a front ankle. That’s too bad, he’s a beautiful horse...but better than to risk a life threatening breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
