Default Bring on Big Brown

Casino Drive, the son of Better Than Honour was more than impressive today off a long layoff. He will run all day too. Three in a row for Better Than Honour?

If Big Brown wins in MD.... should be overbet in NY with Dutrow, so my $$ will definitely be on Casino Drive.

Big Brown could beat him but the value is definitely going to be Casino Drive. They killed him with late money today but I hope I get 2-1 in the Belmont. Maybe even 5-2.

That was done in racehorse time off a layoff in his first start here. His Belmont could be huge. As someone pointed out to me he is actually a 3/4 to Rags who took Curlin down in the Belmont. He looks like the real deal.

Jockey?

Did this horse not turn up his nose at the opposition ????
He treated the dignified Belmont walking ring like his personal paddock to buck and fart in ...
And went on to show his tail to this lot with authority, if not insult ...
Great show by this horse ...
He has the look, the pedigree, the attitude, and oh yeah, the SOB can run ...

He has done that in both his starts. That was one scary performance for the second race of his career.

Don't get too excited.. Although this mare looks like you could breed Charasmatic to her and you would still get a graded winner..lol

I did some preliminary work on the figures, and I'm guessing this one gets around a 103 to 105 Beyer...not too shabby.
