Default Championship Day at Belmont
I have a feeling these races are going to be a big disappointment from a betting perspective. Be warned.

A feeling? Your bold B. Its clear the races are horrible. Read the DRF preview article from the other day. The turf races are as bad as they have been in years. The only race even worth watching is the Beldame, if Rachel runs. According to DT.com public god Blame cant lose and is the best horse ever, so I guess the JCGC sucks.

Rail Trip will probably beat him. . . Keeneland can't come soon enough. Did you get that handicapping job or can I weasel my way in there?

I think the Joe Hirsch will be a really good betting race.

I was told 3 weeks ago, after Del Mar that a decision would be made the first week of October. I have heard nothing from them, and was unhappy about a few things so I have not bothered to contact them. Im just waiting on the email/call. I was told I would be contacted either way.

How many horses in the Hirsch can actually win?

I'm not a "spoilsport". . . I was really looking forward to this day after the Saratoga letdown, but I just realized it's going to be like it is most years. Maybe the undercard will be good, but Mr. Pippit is running and he won't lose at a short price.

Um I actually think none of them can win, let me rephrase that. I dont think any of them deserve to win, I guess its Al Khali again. Maybe just wait till the Cup?

Paddy + Al Khali take up probably 90% of the win percentage.

I suppose if you keep at it, he's bound to lose sooner or later. Which would mean you've been 'right' all along; right?

I hope I'm wrong about the betting part. It should be good as a fan - there are some decent match-ups.

The undercard could still be good.

The curious thing to me is this... Now all of the sudden you regret starting a thread on the 3rd or 4th biggest day of racing in NY all year.

I didn't mean to make this a place for you to spew bad opinions - i.e. that Paddy isn't good.

He is OK at best, beating shitty horses. Who is the best horse Paddy has defeated? Interactif? How did he run a few days ago?
