Casino Drive is going to be a great competitor, but I don't know if he can keep up with Big B... We'll soon find out, and hopefully I can be there to watch it unfold.

I'm going with WinningPonies.com again on the picks after they absolutely nailed the first 2 legs of the Triple Crown, allowing me to cash in big on the Preakness Superfecta.

I like the way the field is shaping up. I would like a 8 or 9 horse field with a down the stretch drive of Big Brown, Casino Drive, Tomcito and Denis of Cork fighting it out.

I think Denis of Cork will be a great play on Belmont day, since Casino Drive will be the second choice.

Whats wrong with those people handling Colonel John? It is an absolute no-brainer for him to run in the Belmont. I think he'd win.
