Bel race 2 6/28

[sumitas]

i see that Exonerated is bred by Joseph L. Bruno. Is this the same individual that is the majority leader of the NYS Senate ? i guess it wouldn't hurt the NYRA if Bruno's filly won. Good PR for the franchise bid i suppose.

Yeah, I heard there was a NYRA Board meeting today and everybody agreed to fix the race so a horse bred, but not owned, by Joseph Bruno would win.

I can't believe the story got out this fast.

the owner of Exonerated, Earl I. Mack, is a big donor to the GOP according to this web site...

and to provide some context, Earl I. Mack has been a horse owner, not of just Exonerated, for a number of years.

here's a story from the Albany Times Union mentioning Exonerated...what this all means I personally have no clue.

in any event Exonerated is a nicely bred filly and should factor in the race on her own merits.

i see the odds on 7 Exonerated are dropping before post. was 7/1 now 7/2.

i guess that angle didn't pan out.

unless you put her underneath some exotics.

Underneath?

Did you recommend a huge spread triple play keying the horse in third?

Just wondering....did you by any chance like that Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, conspiracy movie???

no i'm afraid i did not see that. here's the replay and Exonerated was 7/1 about 5 min.before post...anyway, the replay of an impressive sprint.
