The Matz camp or the Roman's camp can't be too thrilled with what they saw today

I like(d) bodes chances much more in the Belmont than today.

If they both go, that is the time to play him.

I've opposed I'll Have Another for a variety of reasons having nothing to do with the horse himself and certainly won't support the horse in the Belmont. That being said, that was a really fun race to watch.

He's has beat me twice now. Only way to insure he loses and Drug O'Neil is denied a triple crown (I shudder at the thought) is for me to bet I'll Have Another in the Belmont. Not a prayer in the world he wins then.

I applaud your selflessness.

Kev I'm with you. I'm so messed up in the head over this. I would LOVE for IHA to win the TC, but the trainer being O'Neil? Oh please. Lord help us all. PHWUCK. NOOO. Why him?

Also, I'm thrilled for NY, Belmont and NYRA.

Hopefully, the Belmont runs more smoothly this year than in 2008. I'm sweating just thinking about that day.

This is the first year I've missed all three Triple Crown races since 2003. Figures there'd be a winner this year.

Doesn't matter now

Apparently Bode is being replaced by Paynter in the Belmont.

Optimizer the only other Preakness starter to go to the Belmont.
