Hull.

Regal Ransom is an interesting entrant in the Woody Stephens. That is a pretty loaded field.

Apparently, Darley just purchased Everyday Heroes. After the way he bore out in the Maryland race, I wonder how longer he'll hold up.

www.belmontstakes.com
has a little bit of info, but is pretty weak.

dunkirk's workout video is like if I took the video with a regular camcorder for the last 100 yards only.

no Miner's escape Tesio replay...

the highlight (literally not saracastic) of video info is charitable man's 5/25 workout 47.88 with a running time of 36 seconds!

treating the race and the website as a bit of an afterthought. At least that is my 1st impression.

I disagree. . .

maybe it's my video-centric opinion of a triple crown race site?

looking around more , I do notice a good article by Serling.
"Contrarian that I am, I now plan to bet against Mine That Bird with the utmost confidence, that I can guarantee. "

Forever Together looks like a single. Many will also single Justwhistledixie.

Many of the horses running in the G1 Manhattan would have been much lower odds if they chose to run instead in the G1 Charlie Whittingham (which only has a 6 horse field) at Hollywood on Saturday.

Pretty good card.
Lots of familiar names.

Flying Private, the closest direct link to Mr Prospector or Deputy Minister. The offspring of these sires' have a nice success ratio in this race

Flying Private to win;)

Just looked at the entire card.. NYRA has put together an excellent day of racing... should be a lot of fun...

I appreciate your helpful criticisms, and will pass them along, but I have to take great exception to your final sentence. If you think we consider the race, or the website, as anything close to an " afterthought " you are badly mistaken. While the website may not be perfect, and surely we can and will do a better job next year, I think anyone that goes to the site can see that a lot of effort has gone into it and there is plenty of information available.

G-d nothing worse then an NYRA apoligist.. See you at the track tomorrow..hope you have a winner or too since I will be packing heat.. Does NYRA have a Swiss bank on call just in case?

Lots of good stuff on there...Thanks for pointing the site out.
Ive never been to the perfect website, yet.

Although, DrugS tells me REDTUBE is close.:eek:

Luv Gov has DM top and Mr.P bottom 3 generations back.Only DM in the race.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the Man O War line represented by Mr. Hot Stuff. Prospector has 7 of the contenders and Northern Dancer 2.

A winner or too?

Well, he is friends with DrugS.

The Manhattan is really interesting, the best turf betting race thus far this year.

The website as a whole isn't actually that bad, and your article is a highlight.
That was simply my initial impression after seeing the video section which was disappointing.
Miner's Escape in the Tesio is up on bloodhorse for those curious about the Zito pace entry.
Dunkirk and others have some photos up on horsephotos.com

wasn't actually meant as a real shot at you or nyra, just a grumpy first impression of the video section

The Woody is certainly the most interesting dirt race Ive seen this year.
Going in on Paper, of course. Could turn out to be a dud but Im looking forward to it.

I'm too tired to look at the tape tonight but I recall This One's for Phil having abit of trouble in his last, made a mental note. Munnings could finally be ready to run a big one to justify his big purchase price.

Got that right.

The pps are out, the Belmont is BORING. The only race here to make any serious money in is the Reserve.

I see Mine That Bird struggling to get 3rd or 4th here. This ought to be an honest race, and I am in the minority who thinks that MTB is a better 9 or 10 furlong horse than 12 furlongs.

Charitable Man seems to be the standout talent from watching his races.
Extra credit like strong conduit mare pedigree, brazenly (over)confident handling only boost my confidence.

Dunkirk is a little bit of an unknown. He was in my top 3 or 4 classic distance 3yos and none of the others are still around. Stumble in the Derby was pretty bad. I usually don't like Velazquez unless he has presser who can sit outside the pace. Could the pace work out that way here?
Have plenty of doubts about Dunkirk, but can not toss from win.

Of the longer shot horses, Brave Victory seems ok to me for maybe a single 3rd or 4th on a single race exotic. He showed tactical speed initially as a 2yo. Swale Lexington PeterPan were 3 impossible races for Brave Victory, and he responded pretty well considering. Maragh will give an effort and he has a little bit of a middle move in him.

Chocolate Candy rounds out my chalkiest of trifecta/superfecta thoughts :(

Hm?

steve , looks like Zambezi Sun will probably scratch

Modern Look in the Just a Game might just be able to take them all the , training very well

That's false.

NT

Man, what a fun day for bettors.

And how in the world do you expect Modern Look to take them "all the way" in the Just a Game when there's not a chance in hell she even clears off from Raw Silk early? It's going to be pretty hard to go wire-to-wire when the horse won't even see the early lead.

someone who used to be on this board , but is no longer here told me so

steve can clairfy if you want to know for sure , send him a PM

Sure, if Raw Silk scratches then Modern Look may be able to go wire to wire.

NT

Did they say somewhere ZS would prob scratch or are you assuming based on the post positionand having the same jock listed? Unfortunately, I have chased this horse pretty hard his last couple out.

the old poster here says he is going to scratch , he's been bobby's right hand man for a very long time

Dixie?!

So in the same conversation he told you that Zambezi Sun is going to be scratched he also told you that Modern Look is going to the front? Can he tell you why Zambezi Sun has turned out to be such a goat?

NT

i could ask if you really want to know

Porter?

Is there any other?

What does Zambezi Sun & GM stock have in common?

no he's the one and only

still has the suite at the beverly hills hotel , so if you're ever out there just drop by and say hello , i'm sure he will buy you a drink
