Ya a week ago both charge it and pioneer of medina were listed as possible for belmont. Now since the preakness both are off the list. Maybe pletcher wants the best scenario for Mo or Nest? Or Charge it and Medina did not come out of the derby well. They finished 17 and 19.

According to DRF,Charge It had minor throat surgery as he seems to have displaced his soft palate during the derby.

Ouchie mama. Thanks for the update Gerh

Dogs rallies with Mo Donegal to go back-to-back as the winner of the 2022 Triple Crown Draft contest.

Interesting to note, non-draftees took four of the 12 points-generating finishing positions in the Triple Crown (one per leg): (Rich Strike - 10, Creative Minister - 2, Nest - 4, and We the People - 1).

Standings after the Triple Crown:

Dogs - 12

North - 10

Cubs - 9

Oldbettowin - 2

Chiefs - 1

princeofdoc - 0

Pianot - 0

Thanks Cubs for running it. I was a big zero.

Pianot speaks my mind :)
