Jaime Spencer tried really, really hard to get Cape Blanco beat. He sucks.

Giant Ryan team told BC's Jim Gluckson they will pay the $100k to get the Vosburgh winner into the program to contest the Sprint.

Nice effort by Uncle Mo, but I'm curious what Nakatani's plan was exactly on Jackson Bend?

Whatever the plan was failed and doubt he gets a call back on Jackson Bend

JV rode the tractor rut the whole way around. Which left Nakatani his only option to skim the rail and try and surprise JV.. Ended up not having enough horse. No shame getting beat by Mo in 33 4/5 under one back handed whip.

His move was also more premature than Newbomb Turk's with Fran Drescher in Hollywood Knights.

Not sure if he could have anything different to make it even close. Fast pace, closed fast and fell short

You don't need to make your move on the turn like that at Belmont. It takes great energy from the horse and almost never works. And to then try to stay inside assured a loss of momentum if they couldn't get through, and bingo. I don't think Jackson Bend beats Uncle Mo anyway, but he was excellent again today and not necessarily used to best advantage by Nakatani.

All in all, I'll give JB credit. He ran a huge race. Of the races I saw today, his was the best, most surprising performance. I also think Stay Thirsty ran a bigger race than I expected. I figured him not hitting the board. It was stunning seeing Flat Out not being the heavy favorite. |

Then I reconsidered. As much as I cannot stand Nak, I think he rode the race that gave him his only chance of winning. No way he could possibly have won with Mo saying loose like that. Not that he was going to win anyways, but at least that ride gave him a small hope that Mo might fold when challenged. |

I agree that premature move or late move, it wouldn't have mattered in the end, but I don't think it was even slightly possible for JB to have won the race considering all of the race dynamics, had he waited later to move. |

Horse probably did not like the surface today. I would not blame Spencer as he really worked hard to get this horse cross the finish line.

I noted it in the play along thread, Spencer's move was awful. He single handily almost got Cape Blanco beat.
Nakatani's was another bizarre move, just horribly timed. To the connections of Life at Ten, the blinkers didn't work. She's just not the same horse as she was pre-BC last year. Please retire her, she's done enough.

He probably did move prematurely but I would not rack it up that he sucks. He is not a regular rider at Belmont. You could have said the same thing about Dominguez since he had every chance to get by.
