I don't need PPs to know I'll be playing Unbridled Belle. Otherwise she might eat me.

I'm going to wait until Purina posts her picks before I decide.

Yes, but since the big races aren't until Sunday we are filming tomorrow night and it won't be up until around noon on Saturday. I'll still try to talk a little about Saturday but I'm going to focus on Belmont Sunday.

It is profitable handicapping angles like this that will make you millions.

Default This is juicy

Street Sense will now be favored and whichever of the the other 4 contenders you like take the 5-1 or higher and go to the window.

Street Sense won't be favored over Curlin. Curlin was nearly the favorite for this race over the leading HOY candidate in Lawyer Ron and that was coming off of a loss. He's now beaten SS and Lawyer Ron. Curlin has shot to the lead in the race for HOY in my opinion.

Default nice stretch run

Lawyer Ron just never seemed to rate today, those two monster wins at Saratoga have to be discounted a little, because today the time was 2:02, Curlin ran huge, Maybe AGS and Hard Spun are really this good and Street Sense also. I love it 5 legitimate contenders means juicy odds.

Another thing this showed was just how bad the handicap division is. Lawyer Ron dominated the rest of the older horses yet again.

That was not the kind of prep I like to see for the BC Classic though. It was a tough race. At the finish, I was immediately thinking that this is why the JCGC has such a dismal record as a Classic prep. It's a prestigious race in it's own right and it usually takes a big effort to win it, one which is hard to reproduce in the Classic. I rate the JCGC as a Classic prep the same way that I do the Vosburgh as a Sprint prep, the Arc as a Turf prep and the QE II as a Mile prep. But damn, I love Curlin and he's been my selection for the Classic for a while so it's going to be hard to get off of him now.
