Bricks and Mortar
 
Check out his run in the Belmont 8th today. I said before the race I think he is a potential superstar. He did not disappoint.

I disagree, Greg. He was best in the race. Sure the favorite should have won, but he would have won tucked in behind a dawdling pace, while the winner came from a pole back and came home in 44.38 according to Trakus.

Bricks and Mortar should have finished second as the best horse. He got a little lucky and won, instead, as the actual best horse.

I had a $20 P3 ending with Javy & Lezcano ... All I could do is laugh at myself for leaving Chad Brown's horse off of the ticket. Heading into the stretch I thought the 4 had a very real shot of making me some beaucoup bucks! Bricks & Mortar closed like a freight train once he was tipped out!

Between that finish & Dream Doctor getting beat at wire, it's a marvel how I still managed to bend yesterday over my knee!

The discussion between Frank and you regarding the tactics on this race was some of the very best Belmont Live analysis from this Spring/Summer season.

yesterdays card just did little for me but I passed on that Emancipation race because I could not get behind the winner enough who I had thought was viable. Emancipation actually ran dang well considering, but at 8/5 was not a great bet.

Wow, I just watched it and was super impressed. Where has this horse been hiding?

That division feels loaded. Seems like there are good 3yr old turf horses running every week all over the place.
Did you see who his sire is???

He ran really well considering the pace. Could be a major player on a 9f allowance or the Curlin at Saratoga.

A full to Orb trained by Shug should get better seems a bit pace dependent but that may change with seasoning. Shug hasnt has a good dirt horse in a while

It looks like he just has that will to win.

Looks beat in the stretch until he's tipped out, then he gobbles up ground needed for the win. Eager to see where he lands next!

Things I wish : I wish I came back to re-read this thread. I was in Saratoga last week and could have used this Bricks and Mortar refresher last Friday. Instead of trying to beat 'em with Johnny V.'s Secretary at War (short), I could have used the 4-1. Congrats to those who stayed the course. (And yes, I heard Andy over the PA system claiming this as a major overlay - and still did not connect the dots.)

Super horse.
Super sire.

RHT2004 01-26-2019 04:02 PM

Monster.

blackthroatedwind 01-26-2019 06:21 PM

Amazing he even made it back to the racetrack. What a cool horse.

Bricks Questions
 
Why on the gallop out does Ortiz look back and wait for Dettori on the 8 hoss to come up inside him, then appear to hand something to him ? Why would he be high 5 ing Frankie Dettori anyway? Are they buds or something ? Why does Ortiz only wear one glove ?
