Do some research on the success of Mr. Prospector's progeny in the Belmont.

Plus, I merely stated he made more sense in the Belmont Stakes than in the Derby.

Master of Hounds is by Kingmambo.

Sure - his grandsire is Mr. Prospector - but pretty much everything is related to Mr. Prospector. 19 out of the 20 horses in the Derby last year had Mr. Prospector ... the only one who didn't was 3rd place finisher Paddy O' Prado.

You could've just pointed out that Kingmambo already has a Belmont winner. . . not that it's at all relevant.

Nice to see I could make it all the way to the kitchen for peanut butter crackers and back, and only have two rebuttals

Seeing how it's more than common here for people to post sarcastic, and derisive comments (it's always funny to see the threads wondering why there are not a lot of new fans-yet any newbie here is thoroughly trashed), I would say there are more than a few angry, isolated losers here that should move on to gardening, where they can boast their expertise in botany to little old ladies.

Not really thinking of Drugs here, as I always enjoyed his photos (never forget the tasteful photos of women in uniform around the world)

Now, please hockey and Drugs, and you probably can respond intelligently here, what , if any, generalizations can you make regarding a reasonable Belmont Stakes contender?

1. Not a turf horse.
2. Not a horse who clearly has some health issues and would be shipping halfway across the world.
3. Not a horse whose connections haven't mentioned at this point as a horse going to the Belmont.

Did it really take you twelve minutes to go to the kitchen for peanut butter and crackers?

Maybe he has that natural peanut butter that you have to stir first, which is like mixing concrete with a spoon.
