I wish people were forced to say the same things publicly that they are brave enough to say on the internet.

You're taking the wrong approach. Think of it as a Jackson Pollack painting. You're not supposed to read it......just stare at it and soak it in.

Thanks Andy, you are always the voice of reason.

or maybe a picasso, squint, scratch your head, and walk off wondering exactly what it was supposed to be...

The triple crown has a 140 yr history. Horses use to run every two-three weeks back in the day . Now horses are in layoff more than they run and superstar horses race a Maximum of 10 times in thier career with 2-3 months in between races. Horses are treated like kings today

i'm thinking no.

random guy on internet or people handling the animal.

i still give a slight edge to actual trainers and vets.

No doubt.

I think a PG vs. sdjcom pay per view Belmont debate could be a big winner.

I may have to line them up for one of the Monday shows at Siro's that I host.

The only thing I'll add to this is that with BB's status as it is, it is really a disservice to the bettor. Not that I would bet a 2-5 shot anyway, but would you want to bet him knowing what has gone on over the past week? But there will be people that DO know the true story and they will be able to take advantage, and that is unfair to the "horseplayer". BB's value aside, because I'm sure BB is insured for a zillion dollars at this point, but I wouldn't or couldn't put anything past Dutrow. This is a guy that ran a horse in back to back races at NYRA. Yes it was the last on Sunday and first on Wednesday, but still that's 2 race in like 68 hours. So, most of us will be unaware of the true situation, and there will be millions and millions of dollars bet on the race. Running this horse at less than 100% is what is most likely going to happen. And as someone else has already pointed out, they've got the perfect excuse.

I think Dutrow should show everyone his 180K win ticket on to assure the betting public that ALL systems are go.

Since when does racing care about the bettors? And as far of the true situation, when do you really ever know. This just happens to be a very special race and you hope that BB is alright going into and coming out of the race. I guess that there is an uneasiness surounding the horse because Dutrow is the trainer, but if it was Carl Nafzger or Benny Strutts saying that the horse was ok it wouldn't be a question.

You know he actually ran a horse on consecutive days, right? In stakes races, no less?
