May 13 Belmont Points Picks go here

Channel Maker and I are seldom on the same page. When I pick him to win he dosen't, when I don't he does. He perplexes me to no end. Go figure.

Yes, but Red Knight ran a superb race, patiently handled by Irad and when the time came to run, he clearly outkicked the heavily favored Warren Point.

Channel Maker didn't run a bad race; he was part of a blanket finish for the place spot, but was buried down by the rail and came out on the wrong end of the 5 horse photo.

I think that is Red's first Grade 1 victory. Pretty good for a 9 year old. Gives hope for the rest of us old guys.

Yes I had Red Knight to win and was going to put the C-note on him to but didn't. My racing mind is certainly not in sync this year.

I don't have a lot of favorite horses now and I didn't win anything on Red Knight but I did get an adrenaline surge watching him run today. Nice run
by the "old timer".
