There are several polls around, let's see what is the consensus here.

I tried to post a poll, with no success. Can someone, please, post a poll on whether IHA will win the TC? Thanks.

Thank you very much for posting the poll.

For me it depends on the number of rivals (a small or large field) and the number of front-running rivals. If a small field is gathered, I would say there is a high possibility. He is a very good horse, and best of all..a fresh one! But whether he is a Seattle Slew/Affirmed kind of horse... yikes... "quaere"!

I Really Really Really LOVE Union Rags for this race and think he will make a statement in this race... Am Afraid of Dullahan he is sitting on a big Race... Also Love the jockey change on Union from Leparoux to Johnny V... Leparoux laid back riding style did not suit Union Rags at all.. Good change

I would say Stewart Elliott Blew a Triple Crown more so than Kent did.....

From the article, quoting Desormeaux: "If you think you can bring a horse here and introduce him to Belmont Park a few days before the Belmont Stakes, you have wronged yourself."

Is he implying that no horse has won the Belmont without racing over the track previously? I find that improbable.

Well, we know he can't.

Looks like I'll have Another and all his connections are now camping in New York. Where both horse and rider are getting used to the the track. And I'd be astounded to find that the jockey isn't taking advantage of the situation to start riding the Belmont track.

Kent D's statements in that interview are strange.

It's more than his statements. He's strange all by himself without any help. Add some booze and there's no telling what happens in that brain.

bwhahaha I think they gave him a drink before they interviewed him lol. As for IHA.... I am thinking more along the lines of the Big Brown rise and fall, not to take anything away from the horse, but just have a nagging suspicion.

Paynter or Dullahan for me, and no I am most certainly not striking it rich at the windows lol!!
