What does that mean?
This means that Justify has a really good shot of winning the second leg of the Triple Crown, particularly since he’s being talked about in terms of being one of those ‘rare’ special horses that really has a great shot to win the Triple Crown. “Not only does he have the talent, but he has the will to win,” trainer Bob Baffert told reporters earlier this week. “For him, what he’s done in such a short period — it will be his fifth race in 13 weeks — it’s just incredible how tough he is.” Justify, the son of Scat Daddy, a multiple Grade I winner and sire of 69 stakes winners, started racing as a 3-year-old and has gone a perfect 4-for-4 since his debut as a 3-year-old in February. “I think this horse has a great chance; I wish I had him,” trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who has two horses running Saturday, said about Justify. “There’s no horse out there right now that can stop him on this run. He’s going to get a mile and a half [in the Belmont]. He’s going to run well in the Preakness. It’s his Triple Crown to lose.”Last 10 Preakness Stakes Winners
