Belmont cancels Fri card

[Stall Mucker]

As much as I want to see Curlin win on Sat. I have 2 thoughts.

1-He scratches. No more said.

2- If Curlin does not scratch...do you think if Wanderin Boy can get the lead can WB win???

1- he's NOT Big Brown

2- maybe a few year's ago.....Mambo is the only one with a chance, but do include Ravel

What exactly do you like about Ravel?

It's interesting that he's in this spot, whether it's to fill out the field or otherwise....he'll be a price to use undereneath.

It's not interesting....it's actually obvious.


He has pretty much no value. Coolmore is in the breeding business. There is really no race he can run in, other than this one, save the BC Classic, that will make him a stallion. They are throwing sh it against the wall....no big deal....it happens all the time ( by owners and handicappers alike ). However, that is why he is in this race....not because of some clever behind the scenes voodoo.

Unless, of course, you felt his tremendous comeback at Saratoga sets him up well here.

I guess then, he fills out the field. But, he should be a price.....right?

There are priced horses with no shot throughout the card as well.
