around a muddy track with fog so thick you can't see 10 feet in front of you. Let's see how well you do." I was thrilled by his win.

We will see, but he is a heck of a mudder. Two wins in poor conditions. If he can pull it off at a fast track Belmont, then he will be a great horse.

It was close today, but he pulled it off. I think he can do it.

...and conserve his speed for the last 1/4 mile or so.

It would be best to pull him outside just a bit and let him run a comfortable pace until the last stretch of the race.

Then he might take the Belmont.
