Do you really believe any horse by Better Than Honour isn't ready for a mile and a half??

That was done in racehorse time off a layoff in his first start here. His Belmont could be huge. As someone pointed out to me he is actually a 3/4 to Rags who took Curlin down in the Belmont. He looks like the real deal.

Jockey?

Default Bring on Big Brown

Casino Drive, the son of Better Than Honour was more than impressive today off a long layoff. He will run all day too. Three in a row for Better Than Honour?

If Big Brown wins in MD.... should be overbet in NY with Dutrow, so my $$ will definitely be on Casino Drive.

Big Brown could beat him but the value is definitely going to be Casino Drive. They killed him with late money today but I hope I get 2-1 in the Belmont. Maybe even 5-2.

That is the second reference you have made to Casino Drive apparently offering value. Let's see, a horse that had run once, halfway around the world, and beat a field of only first time starters, was just 6:5 in a NY Stakes race in his second career start. I would say " value " is something he will never offer.

Perhaps, but I'm sure that some of our resident chalk lovers can come up with some "inexpensive" combinations that will net a part of the no doubt thousand-dollar-plus trifecta payout (e.g., BB, CD w/ BB, CD w/ all).

This is why the actual "value" will be on me, even though I'll be a lower price. This is great.
