    I'll wait and see what we are looking at ..so far I have to admit I was a bit cynical regarding I'll Have Another..A reliable contact of mine, she keeps me positive. I've worked myself up many times in hopes of seeing a Triple Crown, two example, Smarty Jones and Big Brown, just to be disappointed..which left me a bit bitter. I really want to see the field to compare. In hind sight I was brash, he does seem pretty legitimate..but it's a crazy game.. I think it would be awesome if it actually happens this time..

    As we have witness many times over the years, anything can happen in horse racing. I'm impressed with I'll Have Another, for even getting this far is a challenge. So, with that..I believe I'll Have Another 'could' be the horse to pull off the first Triple Crown in over 33 years.. While reading up on I'll Have Another, it appears he has the breeding to get the first time distance of 1/1/2 miles, a length horses will run for the first time and will rarely run in their lives again. We all have witness his tactical speed, a must for the distance. We, also, have seen him improved with every race, which is always a plus. For those who pay attention to Beyer speed figures, I'll Have Another has a very strong Beyer speed figure going into the Belmont at 109. He ran a 101 in the Kentucky Derby. Impressive.

    There's definitely a good possible we'll finally have another triple crown winner. In my opinion Bodemister was his biggest competitor. He got through him twice. Next up is Union Rags. They each have a good shot at winning. I'll Have Another beat him once, which is why I'd give the edge to him. I truely believe he'll be able to go the 1 1/2 miles and we'll get a triple crown winner.

    I'm searching for loose change on the streets to place in a kitty for wagering on Union Rags -- this cat will be laughing to the winner's circle in The Big Apple and buying the drinks in the barn area all night long.
