Will You Play A $2.00 Bet For A Memento?
 

How much do you think people will play and not cash if I'll Have Another wins?:confused:

You can purchase a 2004 Belmont stakes souvenior $2 losing ticket on smarty jones for $2.75. on ebay

Union Rags or Paynter.

Oh man that was the worst day...

Wait'n On Sumthin :tro::tro:

I was depressed for days after that. :wf

I know!

To answer the original question yeah if I were going I definitely would.

wish they had special old school tickets for this event
the classic colred printed ones
the computer print outs just dont have the same cache
that said i will be a souvenier hoarding sucker and buy a $2 win bet to mount with the program
this is on my bucket list sooo
its fear and loathing at the belmont
hizzah

I have a $2 win bet on Barbaro from the 2006 Preakness. I'd gather it's worth precisely $0.

As do I. First and last souv ticket I will ever buy.

No.

It's weird. Having lived through Triple Crown possibilities from Riva Ridge onwards, this one is remarkably quiet and unemotional. Definitely a different "feel" about this possibility, this horse.

^^^ This. Honestly, I haven't had a single non-fan friend of mine ask about the Triple Crown this year. Maybe it's because the race is still more than a week away. Maybe it's because I don't live on the West Coast. Either way, there's just not a buzz yet.

Over or under 100k at Belmont on the 9th? I think I'd take the under.

I think as long as the weather is ok, they will have over 100k.

As far as the sounviner $2.00 ticket goes, I'm not buying one unless I have tickets from Churchill and Pimlico as well.

I'll confess my dorkdom -- I made shiny and pretty buttons for myself and my friends for mementos. :o

Hand this one out, while you're at it.



:D

Good for you! Enjoy the Triple Crown party, too! ;)

Don't be jealous! :p

Wondering aloud if it was the heat or the horse that kept the crowd under 100k in 2008?

I don't know the answer, but it wasn't like they had 50k (94,,476 attendence).
