Far fewer people will be watching the Belmont Stakes this year.
Nyquist is not American Pharoah. There will be no Triple Crown winner in 2016. Gun Runner is going to win at Pimlico.
Nyquist won't even be in the money.
How do I know this? I was chatting with Gun Runner last Sunday, the only horse in the Kentucky Derby that can talk. I picked Gun Runner to place in the Derby, but, alas, he finished in third for the show. Gun Runner was a little bit sore about this. The track was a bit wetter than he liked.
