No gossip, I believe Rags and Circular Quay work tomorrow and then there should be an announcement Monday. I'll be shocked if neither goes and equally shocked if both go.

Rags actually has a chance anyway.

I'm one of the biggest Circular Quay haters on the planet but think he may actually have a shot at 12 furlongs. If Curlin runs even close to his best and doesn't make an early move he wins. If not I think Tiago and CQ are the most likely to ration their speed into 24-25 second quarters the whole way which has been the formula to win the Belmont.

Circular Quay's best chance would be two six furlong heats. He wants a mile and a half about as much as King of the Roxy does.

I can see where you are coming from but I disagree. For what it is worth (nothing) he did pass everyone on the runout after the Preakness. That doesn't seem like a tired horse to me. Just a slow horse that needs 12 furlongs before the rest of the field comes back to him.

If CQ wins the Belmont I will strip down to my boxers and attempt to join Pletcher in the win photo!

How about just attempting to join Asmussen in the win photo if he runs second?

Now THAT's old skool. Like 1780 old school.

Dutrow would have entries for that event.

Yeah, but they ran 4 mile heats back then

Pino taking any heat for the ride in the Belmont is crazy. What did he do wrong? He would have been wrong to wing out there with the 2 pacesetters. He would have been wrong to wait until Curlin and Street Sense rolled up to his hip. Any ride besides the ride he gave was wrong. What he did was ride a winning race on a horse who wasnt good enough to win.
