He's probably a goat, but if one of these nags wins the first two legs of the TC I'm pinning my hopes that he's this year's Lemon Drop Kid or Birdstone or what-have-you.
Of the three TC races MW has the least chance to win the Belmont. Not that he has any chance to win the other two.

Looks more like the grassy knowel to me. Is that Texas?

He and Elisyum Fields bumped into each other pretty hard and a little squeezing went on.

Not exactly the kind of start you want to have when drawn out there.

Here's a bit of a blurry pic of about where it happened. He's in pink and EF is wearing the white blinks.




Elisyum Fields was like a pinball between those two horses.

Because he's a late running sprinter, right?

Big Brown sure was hammered in the exactas. I had Smooth Air wheeled on top and bottom just because he looked like he'd at least hang around for the distance based on the long workouts. I made all of $12 for my effort. My fault for leaving the OTB before I could see the pools I guess.

And because he's just not very good
