oh, i think zaftig is a nice horse. just wish the bigger events would draw bigger fields, it's more exciting to watch.

no argument there. field size today for the stakes was pretty good, though.

Denis is a suckup horse and I've said as much since his dream setup in the Southwest. He had absolutely no excuses today....except for ESPN saying Carroll said the Kentucky Derby was a prep for the Belmont. I threw up a little in my mouth when that BS was mentioned.

This horse would improve immensely if he got away from Caroll, his management of this horse has been peculiar all year.

Denis Of Cork is more of a setup type closer than a slowpoke finisher like a Ready's Echo is.

Da Tara jogged on an uncontested lead through moderate to reasonable fractions. He never fended off either Big Brown or ToE - both ran non-efforts and never made so much as a serious bid.

Denis Of Cork did what setup closers tend to do - and pass everything that stopped in front of him. Da Tara got a dreamy trip making his own pace without pressure and just never stopped.

The race was slow all around.

Big Brown's Preakness fig was by far the slowest winning Preakness Beyer in 15 years - and this years edition of the Belmont was one of the biggest eyesores in the recent history of the triple crown series.

It really was a horrific race. BB's bomb has distracted from the disgrace of this being a classic race.

Even worse than the little guy's?

Are you trying to make me like Jazil by giving him the same nickname as my idol Andy Serling?

good point only if he had been managing the horse.
