I'm not sure Rachael Alexandra can handle the distance which may actual favor Mine That Bird who has shown no sign of letting up after his big Derby win.

I'm not ready to pick a winner, but I will stand by my prediction that we will have 3 different winners in the Triple Crown races.

I really like Mine that Bird. I think this will be the feel good story of the year.

This race will play to his strengths as a longer distance suits his style. I'm not sure what having a third different Jockey aboard will do to his chances.

Borel could be back on Mine That Bird for the Belmont. We are still waiting on the decision from Rachael Alexandra's owner and trainer on her status for this race.
