Although I haven't picked a thing today (and haven't wagered either) I still have a pick in the Belmont! I like Destin. I'm not going to fund my account just for this and I won't mind regretting it if he wins (or places)

Safe trip everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

laffit Pincay III just talked to Pletcher. Says he thinks Destin has trained well up to this race and that the horse had broken his maiden at Bel.....
Hmmmm.
11-1....might be worth a few scheckels and pesos....

Hard to trust Kent D here, especially at this price. I like the 1 and the 2 at their respective prices. Good luck to all!

Wow tight there. It's a good thing I didn't bet because I almost had a heart attack with nothing on him. Imagine if I had some money down.

Heartbreaker for me. Destin was my "second" choice and my value bet (posted on my web site and here) so my win money went down the tubes, BUT thanks to an exacta box with my other choices (Creator and Lani) things turned out pretty good. Irad looked like he was not going to get room in the stretch and all of a sudden a hole opened up and he dove through. Another second or two and he might not have caught Destin.

Where the crowd surprised me was Suddenbreakingnews. I thought he was a backholer, but I never expected them to put him at 5-1.

If I had the inspiration and the nuts I would have boxed 2,10,13 in the tri.

Good plan.

I bet Steve got an estimate on his next haircut and figured this was the only way he could cover it!

I've heard rumors that the grew his hair long during his wife's medical treatments . So there could be some significant meaning to him .
Looks like things are looking good for both of them.

I dont think it looks bad. He's a standup guy. Bumped into him walking around the apron ga area at the BC last year.

Yeah, that was disappointing.

My initial feeling is that that was one of the more forgettable renditions of that race. Even with, or in spite of, a head-bob finish. For me the only moment came as they rounded the turn very bunched up for a race of that distance, and there were hundreds of live possibilities with a long way to go. But in the end, it was just another race that I took a deep but cheap poke at, and came up empty. There have been lots of forgettable Belmonts; I think this one gets thrown on the pile.

I don't think this Belmont is going to turn out to be an especially strong edition. Not to take anything away from the winner, but I think Destin was probably best and I don't think he's anything special. He put away a few horses before getting caught very late. I'm not a huge fan of either Lani or Governor Malibu as far as being leaders of the division goes. Exaggerator either got exposed as needing some combination of a wet track and/or good pace setup or was just off his game. Stradiveri didn't want the 12F. Cherry Wine proved he more or less sucked up last time. Much of the rest of the field was kind of weak.

My thoughts after the race was if Lani ran on lasix he probably wins it, I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time).......

Yeah, I had all my money on him. Don't know if he could have won, but at least would have broke even with my show bet.
