Orsonian, a son of Officer, trained by Ralph Nicks is going to break his maiden at Belmont. He ran in the race where Stay Thirsty broke his maiden.

One of my favorite races was the Personal Ensign. It was great to see some of the top distaffers actually compete against each other for a change, even if the outcome wasn't what many expected.

I thought the horse to bet back out of that race was the pace setter who finished 3rd.

The overpriced Birdstone? He'll be transferred to Suroor and never heard from again if he ever wins. . .

A dead on the board Birdstone from those connections carving out that early pace. I thought he would be tough going 8f at Belmont.

Everyone was dead on the board in that race except for the Nick piece. Pace was on the slow side. . . I think he's a trap. He can probably win a maiden race at some point, but won't be much down the road.
