Congratulations to Belmont Winner Creator and all his connections on a shocking and gritty win! It’s now a virally established fact that I was rooting for Lani, and I was screaming at the top of my lungs down the stretch with full belief that the crazy loon of a Japanese colt was going to do it, but I’m no less proud of my pick tonight for his lovely performance and a third place finish. You do you, crazy Lani.
The diverse talent of this year’s three-year-old crop is a beautiful reminder of just how special and inconceivable it is for a horse to win the Triple Crown. I tip my hat to all three jewel winners in 2016, and hold American Pharoah a little nearer to my heart.
