We'll never know ... the race wasn't on national TV ... so no chance for the Sack-O-Kakas to extend their 15 minutes of fame.
Funny Cide might run in the Brooklyn this weekend. I rather win that than this race.

You'd rather win it ... but Funny Cide won't.

How's that for a prediction, Nostra?

It depends who shows up. His work today was a little slow, but I think that was the plan. 9F should suit him. I say he wins against a weak field.

Barclay now makes all the decisions. I doubt he romps, but he should be fine. He really likes the Belmont track a lot more than Saratoga.

Can you imagine if the silliness you spew was anywhere close to the truth?

Barclay will make the decisions from now on, and Funny Cide is much better over the Belmont track than Saratoga. That is a fact.

It means telling everyone how great a horse looked AFTER the race is over instead of before.
Its an awful thing.

Hey ... it's the easiest way to pick winners ...

... it never fails ... unless your name is Jan Rushton ... who rarely knows who won even after the race.

If you don't even know who's running before the race, or even what race you're on, how can you be expected to know after?

Give her a break. It's hard maintaining that consistent level of uselessness.

It's the hats ...

He owns horses....that makes you an insider

At the time he was not a horse owner. He was a student at Duke. Talk about a real nice guy. Hes pretty hard not to root for. My Dad and him were very close.

Don't let this out but he's not winning that race either.

He's yet another wannabee insider.

It's so tiresome.

My brother and Braxton know plenty and I have learned plenty from them. I am too young to be an insider but I can assure you I have been around some of the best horses in the world.

Your brother knows Toni Braxton? Is he getting any? How is she?

It is a prep for that race. Same distance. This field is going to be a weak grade 2. He has talent to run in weak grade 2's and grade 3's.

He had a slow work today in preparation, but I think he will enter and see what shows up. There is not much out there for him.

Ooops ... sorry ... they just ran it without him.
