Why do I feel Borel will commit to MINE THAT BIRD only to see RACHEL ALEXANDRA entered at the last moment in order to get ALBARADO on her.

my father likes Summer Bird a little. After watching the derby blimp replay, he thinks Rosier saw Borel and started his drive. He likes that Summer Bird showed a mild response while wide on the end of the turn.

I'm not too crazy about Summer Bird.

I hope this is the majority in that opinion. I see no reason to retrack now after his final major work Sat, I love his chances.

They are adding blinkers for the Belmont.

This could turn out to be a key equipment change, he has a tendency of falling back in races, this will give the jockey alot more options, supposing the jockey chooses correctly he can be alot closer to pace than he was in his previous races as the pace dictates.

if jackson really wanted albarado, he would've named him already. why does everything have to have a conspiracy attached?

They're not gunna run the filly. They'd be insane to bring her right back ... in a 12f contest, no less.

Pletch cherry-picked the event with Roids to Riches. She was well rested … and probly all hopped up on 'roids, to boot.

Granted, RA was superb at Pim, but they were gaining on her at the end. 9.5f is probly her limit against the colts. In fact, 9 panels is likely her best distance ... just like it was for her dad.

I think Calvin Borel is destined to win the jockey Triple Crown....everything is going right for him.

And MTB to me is the better Birdstone. His regression should be about as good as Summer Bird's best race.
