Now as for overall sucktatude, that time was kinda crap. I could've won it in 2:31 and change.
That was like watching the two last place teams in the WNBA play out the string...


There should be an asteriek (*) attached to this entire Triple Crown Series.

Winstar is now doomed to stand two triple crown race winning plugs...

The Governor of New York is getting armchair award presentation grief for referring to Drosselmeyer as "horse #7."

Trust me, I'm no fan of the current Governor of New York.

But I did realize as he was doing a pretty good general job of thanks......that he certainly works without a teleprompter or cue cards.

Should we appeal to have Eskendereya declared the TC winner in absentia?

We should just have the tapes erased and the records sealed like they do in court

Nice score, though, for those who used the ridiculous horse name angle

Well done, Drosselmeyer. Clearly he liked the distance. And I'm very happy for Mike Smith. Above all else, everyone appears to have finished the race in good shape. Except Nick Zito . . .

It is clear that one of the conditions of Pattersons bailout loan to the nyra was that they play the JayZ rap song before the Belmont.He was caught trying to give the slots at the big A to jayz. abc showed great courage by going to a commercial during the song..

If I didn't think so highly of Bill Mott, I probably would have vomited. So, for Mott's sake, I can live with it.

Next race....

From the land of the bizarre... Uptowncharlybrown was DQ'd from 5th to last due to losing the 8 lb. lead weight pad on the backstretch.

Given that he was 3 clear of 6th, the difference didn't mean anything to even the staunchest of weight proponents.

The winner also dropped some useless weight.......his previous jockey.
