Love Exaggerator for this distance -

I don't. He's the best horse but in a couple of his races he was out of gas. The 5 had an excuse in the Preakness while trying to savage the Japanese horse. If he stays at 5-1 I'm in.

Love Exaggerator for this distance -

As much as I like Exaggerator, too many people place an emphasis on distance for closers. Pace & trip are equally important. I've seen some great closing in shorter races & seen some closers not able to close in the Belmont.
Cherry Wine & Suddenbreakingnews as well as several other closers are capable as well.
Suddenbreakingnews was flying in the Derby stretch & is rested after skipping the Preakness.
