Curse of Belmont Stakes suck-up closers continues

[Travis Stone]

The Orb we saw at Saratoga was not the same Orb that ran on Saturday. I doubt Orb will be a true G1 handicap horse ever at this point but his effort on Saturday was awful.

DRF report saying he is unlikely to race again this year.

Excellent and useful findings, Calzone Lord.

I also enjoyed your article on Honor Code posted at Horse Racing Nation.

Thanks for doing the homework.

Thanks.

I have a new article up on HRN today about the Champagne.

Three very exciting prospects in that race. Over the last 15 or 20 years, so many times the very promising 2yo's don't pan out ... but still, if you enjoy 2-year-old racing you really have to really love this edition of the Champagne.

3 really exciting prospects and Dutrow winner from last weekend looks like a real colt as well.
