6/11 (BEL): 148th Belmont Stakes Day

Tom's Ready in the Woody Stephens is interesting. Thought it was odd for him to be as close as he was to the pace in the KD.

The Ogden Phipps and the Acorn are going to be great races. Can't wait to watch those. More excited about those than the Belmont itself

Kiran always puts up those over the top huge where the **** did that come from performances on big days. I guess he just is a super trainer.

I am not sure where get the word "Always" from. Its not like he was 70-1 and fresh off of a 30k claiming race to a Grade 1 situation

My observation is that It seems to me he always has a horse or 2 that puts in a huge performance on New Yorks biggest days. Is that easy enough to understand. Am I implying that a near Secretariat like blowout of a Grade I field wasnt on the level? Nope, you never hear Kieran tactics being questioned on these boards or in the media thus he must be legit.

Can you please list these blowout performances on some of these horses he has had? You speak as if he is some claiming trainer with cheap stock and just show up to play ONLY on big days. The jock saved ground well throughout and was loaded at the top of the stretch. You can question Todd Pletcher, Chad Brown and Bob Baffert while you are at it too. They too win on big days and how. There are certainly other trainers more questionable than Kiaran.
