zaftig would blow his doors off... mint lane

I was on the phone with my boss aka "my wife", out of all the times she has to call and give me things to do it had to be when they were loading into the gate of race 3.

Unbridled's Heart had a more difficult trip than he did last month but he still could improve. The 3 year olds division is still suspect. The mistake I made was not taking a chance against him. I had the right idea last night but chickened out today.

Betting against Jimmy Jerkens at this current Belmont meet is hazardous to your bankroll.

Who WOULDN'T Zaftig blow the doors off of? :D

Considering that those rats in the 6th ran a very ratlike time of 1:14.26, it doesn't appear that the track has sped up dramatically. There isn't a huge sample size, but Mint Lane's figure seems legit, IMO.

It's hard to disagree. It's in the mid 100s ( 102 to 106 ).

Jimmy Jerkens's horses are certainly running very well.

What would that give Unbridled's Heart then? Low 90's? Maybe he just got smacked by a horse that's better than people thought and will prove to be very good as well.

Bottom line is we're looking at the worst crop of 3 year old colts in the history of the sport.

I'm confused by Mint Lane. I guess it's about 1.8 points a length so Unbridled's Heart ran 11 or 12 points slower.

It will be interesting to see how Mint Lane runs if he ever actually gets challenged for the early lead but he has to be better than I thought he was.

That's not true...but whatever. Keep plugging away.

Whatever.

It almost looked like they rated UH back out of the gate. Like they wanted to get him to settle and drive on, except that Mint Lane didn't do any slowing down.
Haven't looked at the replays again to determine if UH broke poorly or was rated back.

He broke poorly.

Yeah the break cost him the race.













lol

Totally.

casino drive is a super horse... i have been saying that for days man

Disappointing effort by U's Heart. . . I was at Belmont today but decided to leave before his race . . . glad I didn't miss anything.

Strategic Mission GETS BENT OVER (like a bitch).................


Place Laughing my ass off SMILEY here.

The fig doesn't matter that much. It was only his second career race and he lost a race where he did not get a good trip and the winner who is a good horse had a dream trip. Mint Lane created his own trip but he's much more experienced than Unbridled's Heart. I think Unbridled's Heart will improve off this race. The Dwyer looks like a good race to make is his start unless they decide to run in a non winners of 1. If he improves and runs a good race, he can run in the Jim Dandy and the Travers.

that would be ambitious, especially off of todays effort

Good call on Admirality JSC.

He crushed my longshot, and ran a pretty nice race.
