Yeah. :D

Victor Espinoza. Let him pose for pictures on Casino Drive with his yellow Ferrari in the background.

This thread is three pages.

That is really disheartening.

you're a glass half empty guy.

i was impressed it was only 3 pages.

It's early.

It's two pages.

Casino Drive is the best horse ever.

You're right. Should be longer. What we need here is some more discussion about Big Brown, and throw in a psychic for good luck:

Take's a damn good rider, world class infact. I know he did a stint out West a few years ago to luke warm success and perhaps that is what most North American observers remember from him. But in Japan where racing is 1st class, and there are multiple big races, this guy is a big race rider. Sure he gets the mounts but he converts a vast majority of them.

just remember, when doing math, pie are not squared, pie are round!

I have a friend who actually do business with the owners of Casino Drive. Apparently Saturday night my friend was at dinner with some of them in NYC and they mentioned they were going to use Tyrone Carter. Apparently he worked the horse all week, and with Desormeaux committed to BB, they wanted someone now, and they really were impressed with Carter. Rumor is Take's daughter is graduating from high school and refuses to miss it and come here to ride the horse in The Belmont.

This thread is pretty ridiculous, but this is one of the most hilarious things I think I've seen yet :D

No....Lanphear is scheduled to ride the favorite in The Arc later this fall. She is resting up until then.

Speaking of Lanphear, I am sure she couldnt have given a worse ride on Jerkens horse in the last than Cormelio did....cant believe the horse still won.

You know there has to be one person on here who believes what I wrote.

I think there's more than one out there. The tone of the message was so serious, it was almost believable :D

Maybe you are right. Considering some of the people on here. I bet there were a few google searches trying to find out if Take has a kid and if so, when she is graduating.

Exactly, the statistics say he has a 100 percent success ratio riding Better Than Honor offspring in the Belmont Stakes. Would seem to be a simple choice!! But of course John Velasquez has the same success ratio in the same circumstance clouding the choice somewhat.

Take has no experience in the Belmont. That's pretty clear.

It's not like there will be 20 horses. Once Big Brown crushes the Preakness field, no one will want to face him and there will be a 6 or 7 horse Belmont field.

Wrong
