I would bet him heavily in the race at odds that thrilled me.
I would watch him finish 5th.
exactly. He looked good then when it was time he said , "time for me to quit"

I'm sure Rags will only be a factor until the 1/4 pole

Good Luck to all!
Agreed Hoffy. It doesn't really matter. Like I've been saying all along...The addition of RTR does add intrigue to the race. I'm not ready to hand the race to Curlin just yet, but he sure looks tough to beat. The weather looks like it's going to be nice...unlike some previous years. I'm not sure there will be a Sarava type upset this year. I will still never forget how quiet 105,000
fans got that day. What an adeventure that day was. My first and only Belmont. Boy was that Limo ride home an adventure.

I'll throw in a free Belmont Park blanket for the winner (if they want it.)

Rumor is that will keep you warm on a hot summer's night.

If you need a prize, I have a nice "Calder Festival of The Sun" personal cooler that is unused which I am willing to part with. I'll include shipping!

I've got a $15 gift certificate to Tru-Value Hardware that I just won at a benefit for a guy who lost his leg in a farming accident.

P Dave and Anti T,
Are either of you going to post the card and keep score?
Seems like prizes are being put up.
This could be lots of fun.
I'm in.

It was actually a real good time. A huge turn out. You should of seen the things they were raffling and auctioning. I talked to him and he's in great spirits. He's only like 24-25.

On second thought...maybe I should really handicap the Saturday card, there will be plenty of partying...IF Saturday is a "good" day.

Sure DTS,

I'll put the card up and keep score (at the end of the day - or sunday cause I'll be spending the day at Calder most likely).

$2 Win bet on 1 horse per race. Cant go into the negative, only winnings count no losing.

Maybe I should throw in an " official " dunce cap for the last place finisher.

Or I could just enter and inevitably just keep mine.
