The Belmont

[GPK]

Ok....very rarely to I talk bad about horses, but this race, IMHO, is just flat AWFUL. I just downloaded the PP's and disappointed is the first word that comes to mind. There are some good races on the card, but the feature is just plain bad...

what dont you like about it? no superstars but looks to good as far as wagering.

[Assttodixie]

yes, it is rather disappointing. Luckily, there are a few that can easily be thrown out and constructing a logical wager shouldnt be that difficult.

Not excited by it either. Like the Woody Stephens though. Should be a wickedly fast pace.

Exceller friend of mine has a horse in there, Dontrearthereaper. hes owned by WInged Foot racing which is headed by Dennis Barbierri. Hes a cloer and while seemingly a little overmatched, hes a closer and if they battle like they should, he may get up for a piece at a price. Nice horse to use in the trifecta at a price.

Spoke with Mike earlier and this was the one horse I brought up. Like him a bit.

Nice to see that Reaper will have some fans in the crowd Saturday. I've gotten to know all of the guys in Winged Foot over the past year and they are all top notch. I own a piece of their 3 yo Filly Dinnerinthemeadow myself. Dennis gives equal treatment to all the owners, whether they own 2 or 20%, and is a real class guy. Wanted to get up to Belmont to be with the rest of the guys but unfortunately I won't be able to make it. I agree that Reaper certainly seems to be overmatched here, but is certainly capable of getting a piece. He would have won the Romano Gucci against Fabulous Strike had it been 7f instead of 6.5f.

Oracle - been reading on the other board for a long time and I remember how you bet the Derby (keying SW for 2nd and 3rd). As soon as I saw the past performances for this race, I immediately thought of doing the exact thing with Dontfearthereaper. He should definitely be pickin up the pieces after a wicked first 6F.

I guess you can look at it that way, but I would have ZERO clue who to bet. I LOVE Sunriver and have for a long time, but I will be hard pressed to bet him at what is sure to be a short price. At 1 1/2 mile, anything can happen. Kinda glad I will be too busy at work to try and bet it.
