Default Anyone who saw the Belmont no longers talks

about impossible, I was seeking just wanting to generate some dialog about an angle that could have raised the interest level.. Obviously, good jock. FWIW my pace program had the 2 and the top pick based on first start, but of course I disregarded as.....too improbable given pedigree of others.

Oh well, onward and upward...

A few tidbits that may help give a little credibility.............

Belle Artiste (dam) was a pretty nice horse in her day, she compiled a 30-7-5-4 record in her life and bankrolled $325,000. She won the West Long Branch stakes at MTH. Pedigree says distance would not be a problem with Came Home as 'daddy' and Broad Brush as broadmare 'daddy'. Only start on grass was decent figure with a mild close. Definitely liked the 2-3-4 finishers better but not totally unreasonable.

Weak explanations I agree..............but it's something.
