I never thought I would have seen the day that more turf races were carded on a US track(Belmont) than dirt races. I like this!

Not the classiest Met Mile in history, but it is interesting.

Will not wager on this one. Will just watch and see them chase the fav.


Can any of these even get into a duel with Commentator?

Frankel has put a lot of love into First Defense. Commentator just seems a step quicker than Defense or the extremely game Kiss the Kid.

Another sub-par jockey assignment and over-his-head spot for Kiss the Kid. Seems like Luzzi would have been the natural jockey assignment for Kid's style.

Divine Park is in top form, but should need one of the speeds to duel with Commentator.

Will be fun to see what scenario plays out.

When Commentator and Divine Park run sub par races they usually run off the board...I always like First Defence but he always seems to dissapoint me. However if the top 2 don't run their races First Defence is salty IMO.

If Divine Park runs back to his last I think he is the one to beat and not Commentator.
