I don't mind losing. It is my entertainment. My horses cost me more than the money I lose gambling. Remember too, one race doesn't make a day.

Who is your pick in the 8th at Belmont?

lets see,,,,

1. S halory... I don't care for all the layoff lines and don't think he wins stepping up off 7 months off.
4. Organizer.... Don't think his style of losing ground and placement on the turn is going to work against these which are better than his recent NY bred competition.
6. Dr P. Well, maybe, but not me. I guess he may have been short last time but I'm not going to take a short nmber on him to find out. He's an ok play at 5-1 or 6-1, but he's going to be 2-1 or 3-1 at most. It's tough for me to like a horse that has not run to it's top number earned in it's first race. Always underlaid odds, it seems.
5. Perrycard.... I already have fairly big action against him heads up with the 7, Santas Gold. The race he won at Gulf in April was not all that impressive to me.... Wrigley, Purple Aces, etc. I watched all of his races this am... I'll be surprised if he runs very well.
3. Salty... Real nice win and he's playable to me at 5-1+
7. Santas Gold... Looks decent and he does like the track. Decent last race first vs winners. I think he's better going 1-turn and should run well. Playable at 6-1+

That's it. I'll have the 3 and/or the 7 to win at the right prices.
