There's no reason in the world for her to be at Belmont. None.

Gotta give Mine that Bird respect now. I thought the Derby was a fluke and expected nothing today. He ran a nice one and deserves respect now.

Musket Man is a really nice horse. I said after the TB Derby that he'd be among the top members of his class and he's making me look smart.

As smart as he's making me look, Friesan Fire is making me look just as dumb.

I don't care if you like Pioneer or not, you have to admit that he's better than what we saw today.

nice race riding by johnny v to come out like that and prevent a slew of horses to take the lead. RA was very cool about it but the other three lost the race at that point

On synthetic, sure. But we've heard crowing for months about how great he's going to be on dirt, and he sucks on it. There are plenty of horses that are better than what we saw today.

So you don't think on dirt he'd be better normally than a horse like Luv Guv? Plenty that are better than they showed today? Like whom? The only ones that seem to be better than what they showed are Pioneer and Friesan Fire and since that's back to back horrible ones for FF, he may not be better.

I'm done debating over the millionth excuse for this overhyped turf horse. The freaking horse was beaten 26 lengths in a terrificly exciting race, and we're talking about how much better he is than that. I'd rather talk about a horse that actually ran today. Have a nice day.

LOL, It is amazing how 5 words can be so well chosen. Larry Jones and his wife are a credit to the game and I dearly hope his time away from it is short.

If nothing else, Musket Man is the most consistent of the 3yr old crop...
