the Belmont is getting more interesting.

now if we find out tomorrow that Cowtown Cat is wheeling back, everything will be set.

Well hell, they are running Digger, why not this guy?

I really dont know why they are all entering, cause the Green Monkey w/ McCarron riding is gonna win the Belmont....

Damn he pisses me off. I know he's a great horseman and is conservative and knows what's best for the horse, but I just wish he would give him a chance. He's one of my favorite horses and I think he would have a chance against these horses. He was one of my picks for the Derby before he didn't make it, then my pick for the Preakness, and then the Belmont but Matz keeps taking him to these smaller level stakes instead of giving him a chance. Oh well, there's obviously a reason he's a pretty good trainer but it just frusterates me because I think Chelokee would be good enough to compete.

Corinthian is a 4YO Matt.

I don't think Nick really has anyone. CP West could end up having a terrific year but I think he is waiting for the Dwyer. No sense sending him 1 1/2 miles with only three races under his belt. His Preakness was very encouraging.

I remember liking Time Squared in the Sham stakes awhile back. He ran last that day, and got beat by some real superstars like Kolo and Song of Navarone.
His pedigree seems right for 12f, but he literally has nothing else going for him. I suppose he could plod along for a minor share. If a horse like Andromeda's Hero (another FuPeg) could run second here in '05.....I suppose anything is possible.

Time Squared if by Fupeg o/o Indy Glory. Indy Glory is a black type full sister to Stephen Got Even. TS is a NY bred.

Payson Dave · #11 06-04-2007, 01:17 PM

Time Square is the NY Bred that PG85 was so high on....he was pretty green the last time that I saw him run...there are lots of lots worse NY Breds out there.

In my opinion Matz is being realistic and knows that Chelokee just isn't that fast. . . His figs aren't great and even though he won pretty easily in Baltimore he beat nobody and seemed to be crawling down the stretch. . .

AeWingnut · #13 06-04-2007, 06:53 AM

any local horses running ? I think they would have to take a shot at it. What's 4th pay?

Antitrust32 · #14 06-04-2007, 07:31 AM

I bet Time Squared is PG1985's pick for the Belmont

spot on and im not sure a mile and half suits this horse........he's better off waiting for the Dwyer.

Time Squared is a decent horse. This is a great spot for the animal as far as win/lose value.

This is one of those animals that was a little more expensive because of the NYBred status, but sooo expensive that NY Bred racing really will not pay for him. Maybe he ends up an NY stallion? Probably rather have had a fu-peg like Ravel if given the choice a year or two ago. Why spend more/similar for the NY status and an obvious name that shouts to that status "Time Squared"? They tried this one out west and it just wasn't working, so Biancone took a hold of the situation and back to his comfort zone in Keeneland where he got this one right. He was a viable longshot in the Bluegrass but lost all chance as the (lack of)pace of that race developed. He is a legit contender in the Belmont to finish underneath. Not really brilliant but he can use long strides to come up late if ridden conservatively. I question his strength. He is a risk to falter at the distance. Much depends on how much if any he has improved or gotten stronger since the layoff after the Bluegrass.
