@e1:
I can totally understand your being pessimistic, dismissive even of Orb's chances having been in the game as long as you have and having seen as much as you have seen, but if you believe as you do that there is a such thing as Racing Gods, it just seems as if this time, all the proper stars are aligned. We've got the right horse, at the right time and the right group of people. Like I said, the Preakness may very well be the steepest hurdle for him. It's a shorter race with a shorter stretch than what Orb faced at Churchill. And of course, coming back in two weeks off of a monster effort in the Derby doesn't help. But, as I said he's got the right people for the job and if he can get past the Preakness, the Belmont is his for the taking.
