6/7 (BEL): 146th Belmont Stakes (All G1 Stakes P6)

[tywizard]

How much do you all think Chrome will drift up if the following happen:

Life in Shambles romps (Tonalist work mate)
Social Inclusion finishes off the board
Victor Espinoza rides a bad race in the Brooklyn

Any impact?

None whatsoever. . . Maybe on a Thursday at Aqueduct those things would have an effect, but not here.

anyone get psyched out by cards like this? i was looking at it last night and on my 1st run thru a card i just highlight stuff that interrests me, good workouts, odds in past races, where they raced etc etc and it usually takes me about 45mins. last night i was at it for an hour and a half and was only thru race 6. Like i said does anyone out there look at a card like this get overwhelmed?

I understand your point. I often feel like I have a better hand on cheaper races because there are more hopeless horses to just ex out and more obvious patterns. Little Mike isn't in those races to ruin my day but maybe now he should be.

Per Dave Grening, Central Banker a scratch out of Met Mile for having a legal medication administered to him within a prohibited time frame before the race.

There is on any other double with a scratch at NYRA, I imagine it will be the same with the two day bet.

What a shame to see California Chrome's owner Steve Coburn making a complete fool of himself post race. What a sore loser.

Completely. I was just talking about how classy these people have been. Two minutes later he's making me look like an idiot. Be sad if you want, but nobody beat your horse because they pulled some sort of trick. He didn't have it on the day. There's still Champion 3yo and Horse of the Year. Go for those and stop griping. If they change the TC spacing with things like his remarks as an excuse, I'm gonna get mad.

I completely agree. I am sure now we are going to get people blaming Espinoza, especially after Randy Moss' comments.

As far as I am concerned, Victor Espinoza gave that horse every chance to win and unfortunately he just was not good enough today.

Your horse got beat today.......suck it up and saddle that mother up and beat his ass in the next race. Jesus HC...needed a serious emotion check prior to that

That was embarrassing! I was shocked watching that tirade! What happened to sportsmanship and congratulating the winner? Geez.

Congrats to whoever had Tonalist on top. I didn't.

Happy for Joel anyway.

Thanks for the fun times, California Chrome.

Agree with all of this. That was sad, they were lovable small pocketed owners, but in the end they showed there lack of class.

While I agree he shouldn't have said what he did, but I kind of find it refreshing that someone wasn't pc for change.

my thoughts exactly, almost seems like more of a sit back and watch the impending show kind of card, it's that good. And, scarred money don't do any good in those pools. PK4's for me will be chopped to DD's and exacta's as i legitimately have 6+ possible winners in each race

best of luck today all
