Likewise, I had a lovely day meeting Randall (I'm glad you had a good time; I was worried I was monopolizing your day!) and his mom, who was kind, funny and just all around a lot of fun. Like mother, like son.
 I also enjoyed meeting Steve and lovely Beth, and I'm sorry I didn't get more time to talk to Dellinger, BTW, et al; I could have happily listened to your horsetalk all day. And I'm pretty sure you'll see Shawn, who is purchasing his first broodmare on DerbyTrail very soon.Definitely a day to spectate and enjoy rather than wager. I had picked out the eventual 10-1 winner in the 5th, but in my tried and true betting style, that was the race I decided not to bet. I'm thinking it's the fault of the Taco Bell I keep eating at Penn Station before I go to the track-- all the refried bean deliciousness clouds my judgment for the rest of the day... or I'm just a terrible, terrible bettor... Memory to keep- after Javier came back on Bernardini, he took his helmet off and raised it up. Normally, I'm cynical when athletes do the religious thing-- my own personal pet peeve here, but I just don't think God cares all that much if the Yankees make the playoffs (by the way, ateam, very sorry about that. Hope to meet you next time). But in the gathering dusk, for a moment, all I saw was a silhouette of this beautiful horse and the man sitting on him, arms stretched up to the sky with his helmet balanced between his hands, and the moment made my heart catch in my throat. Randall, my friend and I are dead serious about taking you out on a trail ride in Brooklyn. If your ears were burning last night it's because lots of nice things were being said about you.

I really wish you guys got a hold of me. I didnt find Belmont to be all that great of a place. First time there in 20 years so I know I didnt find the "right" places to hang out. The place is huge and very confusing and cold. Felt like I was walking in a hospital all day long. Wont be dying to go back thats for sure. From now on, its a phone account and eating and drinking in the privacy of my own home.
The races were the most unwagerable I have come across in a long time. I found other ways to lose money like Keeneland and Santa Anita though.

Randy my sweet, thank you for the kind words (I think) if you need to parlay those losses we could talk about my horses kicking your *ss on BC day...Hope your Mom had fun...
Genuine Risk, Dellinger et al...it was great meeting you and putting names to faces... BTW thanks for the sarcasm... I sound like I am signing someone's high school year book so I'm going to stop now...BUT Belmont lived up to expectations in no small part to DT....Thanks guys almost forgot Joey...sorry 'bout the yankees hope your dad is OK...

Gen, I'll take you up on the riding offer for sure. Plus next time I'm in the City we'll get a drink.
Tim, you came on a tough day to Belmont. It can be cold and a bit dead sometimes. Its so big that its just a different feel than most tracks. I prefer it much more in the summertime. But its nothing like the atmosphere of Saratoga. But I do like it a lot. Beth, yes we will go double or triple or nothing on the Breeders Cup. I keep giving you advantages in these matchups(lower odds) but I'll get you eventually. You take Lava Man again, and I'll take Bern. Deal? Kev, hey I wish you were there. EC looked the part. But Cacique is waiting...Incidently the ride on Icy Atlantic was so strange that its kind of beyond words. What the hell was he thinking. I'm sure you were sweating it out when the pace was that slow....Come to Monmouth for the Breeders Cup next year. Stay in Jersey with me. Looking to get some real nice seats for it.

If we get enough drinks, Randall, perhaps we'll finish out the evening with karaoke in Koreatown (insert evil laugh). Seriously, though, it'll be great to hang out. And Tim, I'm very disappointed not to have met you and your wife. I'm sorry it wasn't a great day. Maybe reconsider a visit for spring?
