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.

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.

It is a great card. As it should be. We shouldn't be having discussions about bad fields for the traditional powerhouse circuit in the U.S.
I can even forgive the Woody Stephens field due to the 3 year old crop sucking so much a.ss this year. |

The thing about the Woody Stephens is that it's not even a terrible betting race. There are huge knocks on the two favorites and the 3rd choice hasn't won a sprint race since August.

I really think Thank U Philippe looks good in the Woody Stephens.
Am I nuts here or does anyone else like him too? |

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. |

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.

Discreetly Mine runs a blockbuster race to duel with headcase Eightyfiveinafifty and fight well to mid-stretch. I thought he would rate, not send, but he broke well.
D'Funnybone gets the trip of trips. |

I saw the race on tape and I was thrilled with DM's performance, but also frustrated. This horse is not a speed demon, so either Javier felt like the colt would have resented being restrained today or he just gave a bad ride. He's a fast horse and should be tough in sprints from hereon out.
