“I didn’t go fast, but he didn’t need to go fast,” Borel said of the workout. “He gets more from galloping than he does from a work. He did everything the same, just like before the Derby.”

I hope so—love that horse.

Good luck to him, probably at 3/5. Has Borel ever won a mile and a half race? They're different, as he will probably find out.

Charitable Man wins the Belmont in a romp.

MTB needs a vacation, theres no chance he has another big one up his sleeve.

Borel should have stayed on Bird in the Preakness. What a shame that Borel and the rest of us may have missed out on a Triple Crown winner.

MTB was closing fast on the filly, and w/ Borel on probably would have had a better run.

"Diminutive"? How big is MTB?

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping. I like Chocolate Candy. I am not sure if he will win the Belmont though. I like Mine That Bird a lot.

I think one of the longer-priced horses will win it wire to wire, or something like that. Am not sure of the entire field, so I don’t know who that might be. But Char-Man will be right there at the wire also.I am looking for my
Bet Twice, but admittedly there might not be one here for this Belmont. I really need to see a definitive field, and PPs.

I hope Mine That Bird wins!

Just home on lunch break. No bets on this one. I like MTB in perfectas with everyone for $10 each though

[PGalt]

Good race. Wrong bird. Sheesh I’m glad I didn’t get to a track to bet this one. I liked MTB and Chocolate Candy.

The only triple crown race I bet, I won. Thank you Rachel.

Back to work to MTM (Mine That Money) so I can enjoy some equestrian futures next weekend. Hope someone made some $ today. Will check back later. Adios.

I had Summer Bird on top in a $10 exacta with Mine That Bird in today’s race. The second finisher (Dunkirk) was very nearly DQ’d. The exacta *would have* paid $54. That *would have* been $270 back for a $10 bet.

Remember this from Kentucky Derby day? ...

“Summer Bird is a powerful finisher. He has only 3 prior starts and so is really fresh for this race. Oh, did I mention he’s 50-1 on the program! The odds of course will change as the betting takes place. He’ll probably go down to about 20 or 30 to 1.”

FYI...did you see this? I think I bet on this guy in a simulcast race...

...I hope to golf or catch a few races Friday at the local simulcast track.
