Belmont weather??
 

Raining there??? Hard enough to be taken OFF the turf??

It's raining. The turf is barely a remote possibility considering the recent problems.

I did notice they got it back to too firm yesterday.

Thanks,
that saved a lotta wasted time.

Thanks Andy. Is it raining hard enough where they might seal the track??

I thought the horses moved better over the grass yesterday too, which I was happy to see as I love turf racing. Sounds like today may be a day to just take notes and only make a couple small plays.

Kev I have a huge question. I'm trying to figure out how exactly anyone hit that pik-6 yesterday at Belmont. Even though Hushion only paid 3 bucks its extremely hard to see how it was hit, especially with no carryover and West Virginia losing. There have been a string of recent one winner, non carryover hits on the pik-6 and I don't like it.

yea ec isnt running...what will you do...

Mike...whoever hit it had to have a ton invested in that ticket because they had to spread awfully wide in that cheap ass claiming race that Oh My Stars won going wire to wire. I would have had a very hard time not singling WV if I had played a pick 6. I thought the other 4 legs were very gettable only using 2-3 horses in each leg.

hoooves....I was supposed to have a job interview at a golf course this morning...but it got moved to tomorrow.

Good luck on your interview tomorrow, babe. I know you've been bored out of your skull. :eek:

Its been happening a lot lately. I don't like it.
Its illogical to conclude that someone is just getting lucky with the kids birthdays this many times.
I don't have an explanation for it. But at the spa several times there was one ticket alive to the last with a non fave and it won. Its awfully weird to say the least.

Thanks kiddo...bored does not begin to describe it.

You read about that guy that hit the Fairplex pick 6?? Had like $7-$8K into the ticket.

they are just useing byks picks.....and the now famous..superfecta add on..lol

weather looks ok in Miami....could be a Calder day.

You see anything today Matty?

F me...they are OFF the turf at Calder too.:mad:

nope a slow day...good luck at montecello..lol

FREEEEEEEEEEHOLD !!!!!!

watched Cat Manzi win the first 2 races yesterday....the 3rd race he is 2-5 and breaks as soon as the car pulls away...LMFAO

thats a shame to play the buggys..for those who do ....i just cant...yesh...

Im gonna play my "numbas" today....

My birthday numbas
My street address numbas
the last four digits of my SSN numbas
my telephone numbas

I swear to you Hooves...lady sitting near me was watching a race and the superfecta paid huge....first thing out of her mouth "ah sh*t...I always play them numbers...thats the year that my momma was born...always play them..except this time I forgot.."

Muddy and off the turf.

A bad card to begin with just got even worse.

Yes even Mark Twain was a degenrate gambler, so dont feel too bad about gambling on horses.

LOL.....gotta luv da numbas folks....it provides great entertainment b/w races at Belmont

If you were handicapping Belmont with the notion that speed might be good in the slop I will tell you after watching race one that the fractions were very slow for that group. 49 for a half on a straightaway, yuch. They crawled home in 1:54 for a mile and eigth which is even slower than it sounds since thats a one turn mile and an eighth.
It appears to be a deep and heavy sloppy surface which is quite possibly the hardest surface in the world to handicap.
Good ****ing luck is all I have to say.

Bombs away in the 2nd. Landofopportunity scores at 42-1 for Hertler. His mother Pentelis was an incredibly game mare who also loved the mud. Thats about the only way you could have had this horse as his 3 races so far were certainly nothing to play him off of.
Glad I stayed out the early affairs, I'd be 0-2 had i played.
