What does that cost to enter a horse like this in the Belmont?

$10,000 to enter. Another $10,000 to start
. Assuming he was a timlely nom.

Wasn't that a battle in WWII?


:D

doesn't matter no change to win.

:D

I'm guessing post isn't a huge deal here for anybody.

Interesting tidbit:

Horses who have won the Belmont from the 1 post include Touch Gold, AP Indy, Riva Ridge, Arts and Letters, Damascus, Man o’ War, and….

The Triple Crown winners Secretariat, Citation, Assault, Gallant Fox, and Sir Barton.

One of the biggest Naval battles of WWII.

The was a Quadalcanal in the early to mid 60's. He may have been in Quadrangle's Belmont.
The WWII battle site, Quadalcanal is mostly forested and is known most for mosquitoes and malaria. It is an island in the Pacific, part of the Solomon Islands.

Please tell me that you just got that information off Wikipedia and not off the top of your head.
:D

How does he lose against this field?

if he decides to do a somersault at the half-mile pole he would probably still win

Aren't you the one that said he couldn't win the Derby? :p

Yes I am, it was more of potential serious score Scav talking.....

Gaudalcanal gets spooked and breaks toward the rail taking out Big Brown.

If another horse crosses the finish line before him.
