Any of the NYRA bashers (The Fat Man) should officially now shut the hell up. Talk about a great betting card. Probably the best betting card of 2010 so far. NY will probably do about 50 times Monmouth's handle on Sat.

Boutique meet or not Monmouth can't hold a candle to Belmont in terms of the overall quality of horses competing. $7500 claimers running for $50K are still 7500 claimers in my book.

It is too bad that Comedero will pass on the Stephens in favor of a $400k sprint stakes at Charles Town.

It definitely is but since he's a gelding you can't blame them one but for going for the cash.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in the King's Bishop. He might be really good but it would be nice to see him against some sterner competition.

Crist definitely disagrees with you on the card.

WHO CARES about the 1st 2nd and 13th race, if thats all he can take from this card that he's being very short sighted. Some people will complain about anything

I really think Thank U Philippe looks good in the Woody Stephens.

Am I nuts here or does anyone else like him too?

How does he disagree there? All he says is that they had to resort to some lower quality races to get 13 races?

I'm more interested in how he has horses double ranked, 'cx' , 'AB' , 'BC' ?

I'd love to know if that is him undecided on what level they belong or if he actually assigns both levels to the actual horse.

follow along my what I was trying to say, I should have used more words

Stonegossard says : Probably the best betting card of 2010 so far.


Crist says in retort : The sad reality is that it is now impossible to run a 13-race card in New York-- even once a year on its biggest day -- without resorting to multiple statebred and conditioned-claiming races -- something neither Churchill Downs nor Pimlico had to do to fill 25 races on Oaks and Derby Day and 26 races on Black-Eyed Susan and Preakness Day.


I guess it could be argued what the term "best" means versus quality.
