The Acorn is outstanding. The Woody and Just a Game, not so much.

I think the Woody is AWESOME! Cant wait for 85 and d'funnybone to hook up

Check out Trappe Shot in the 4th

85/50 will eat D'F for lunch.

5 horse field? What

Is there any Brooklyn / Belmont Stakes double???

or dime superfectas on the Belmont Stakes

Im thinking so too, just hoping both are at the top of their game and it could be interesting in the stretch.

Short fields or not, Belmont continues to carry the torch of best undercard of the Triple Crown.

Who says the quality of NY racing is deteriorating because of Monmouth? We have the best dirt and turf horses in training racing at belmont within 6 days of each other. Countless other grade 1 winners racing on Belmont day and the week after they are talking about Rachel going to the G1 Ogden Phipps. Behind the scenes may be in shambles the product is still the best in the country. GREAT UNDERCARD

Not this year. Churchill's Oaks and Derby undercards were better, and that's not a knock on Belmont, CD just did an unbelievable job this year.

Awesome undercard, I can't wait!!! The Acorn and Manhattan are fantastic.

Yes, there is a Brooklyn / Belmont double.

Any of the NYRA bashers (The Fat Man) should officially now shut the hell up. Talk about a great betting card. Probably the best betting card of 2010 so far. NY will probably do about 50 times Monmouth's handle on Sat.

Boutique meet or not Monmouth can't hold a candle to Belmont in terms of the overall quality of horses competing. $7500 claimers running for $50K are still 7500 claimers in my book.

It is too bad that Comedero will pass on the Stephens in favor of a $400k sprint stakes at Charles Town.

It definitely is but since he's a gelding you can't blame them one but for going for the cash.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in the King's Bishop. He might be really good but it would be nice to see him against some sterner competition.

It is a great card. As it should be. We shouldn't be having discussions about bad fields for the traditional powerhouse circuit in the U.S.

I can even forgive the Woody Stephens field due to the 3 year old crop sucking so much a.ss this year.

The thing about the Woody Stephens is that it's not even a terrible betting race. There are huge knocks on the two favorites and the 3rd choice hasn't won a sprint race since August.

NT

I thought Crisp had a tough trip in the Oaks. Outside post is tough in the Acorn.
