It was Casino Drive's 2nd.. SECOND.. career start. And off a layoff. He was absolutely terrific. And should only be better in 4 weeks.
Why is he going to be better in 4 weeks? Just because. It was a very nice start to his US career.. I was impressed but I have no clue why or how you can think he is going to be better in 4 weeks.. Will he be better in 3 weeks or 6 weeks or just 4? My point is not to be a jerk it's just I don't get why we should figure anything about the colt. It's not like we understand or have stats on the trainer which suggest second off a layoff is when his colts do there best running..do we? He ran well he beat garbarge and ran a solid BSF.. Lets see and hope.. I will say if the mare gets 3 Belmont winners in row it is a feat that defines any logic, especially with one of the 3 being a filly.

Looking forward to the 2012 Belmont when Giant RAG (Giants Causeway- Rags to Riches and named for my first wife) comes to the Belmont the M/L fave
