Belmont Stakes Field

What? I don't like Dunkirk to win this race. I have not seen a horse win yet that ran at Gulfstream the weekend of the Florida Derby. I am anxiously awaiting the outcome of Nicanor's next race to base my final bet on.

Didn't Nicanor just break his maiden on grass at Delaware by 15 lengths.

-Big Drama ran in the Preakness. That was a pretty tall order (even though I loved him that day).

-This Ones for Phil ran only once since and he got a pretty bad trip and ran well to be 2nd behind a very impressive Mr Fantasy.

-Quality Road got injured and hasnt run once since.

-Nicanor broke his maiden winning by a pole.

I wouldnt rush to judgement on this group just yet.

Dunkirk beat Warriors Reward at GP, who came back to win an impressive Allowance race on Oaks day at Churchill.

Dunkirk beat Santana Six at GP, who finished a good second in a Stakes race at Monmouth last Saturday.

It's perfectly fine to not like Dunkirk. But to use "everyone at GP sucks" angle isn't going to get you very far.

Thanks for posting these. I think the odds are pretty spot on. I do think Charitable Man and Mine that Bird will flip flop and Charitable man will be the post time favorite going off at about 9/5. Hes the talk of the town and the barn will be unloading on him.

listen your up in saratoga , i'm down here in mid-town , he may be the talk of the barn , but ,MTB is the talk of the town

I don't think there's any chance that any horse other than MTB is the favorite in this race. In fact, I think Eric Donovan's morning line of 2-1 is high.

I'm completely tossing Charitable Man... so I guess I hope he gets over bet.

Not going to do much with the race, thinking of a 3 horse $1 exacta and trifecta bet... Dunkirk, MTB & Flying Private (I know I may be crazy for this but I thought the horse showed some promise at Pimlico, should be able to get the distance and may be a price - could run third or maybe catch 2nd)


Also may put $20 on Dunkirk to win.

Thats about it.

There's almost no chance that you're right - despite the amount of money the KMc barn usually bets.

What I miss most about working on the backstretch is the opportunity to unload on those low price, little chance, sure things.

who do you like for the race fat man?

you think its good that I'm tossing Charity man, right?

[slotdirt]

I would be absolutely and completely shocked if Dunkirk won this race.

Not as shocked as I'd be if Summer Bird wins.

You will be surprised at the amount of money Charitable man takes, and maybe I wont be right... but I will guarntee Charitable man will open as the favorite. The barn money will come early and in droves. I think he will off favored just like he did in the Peter Pan, a race where he figured to be 3rd choice behind IC And HB.

I dont really like his chances, despite the barn's confidence. I think he gets gunned down!

You realize that they won't just be taking bets in NY, right?
