October 28 Belmont at the Big A Points Picks go here

[JolyB]

We are playing the full card hosted by Belmont at the Big A. Please have your selections for the points contest posted on this thread not later than first post of 12:05 PM Eastern on Saturday.

Good luck to all and thank you to Digger for scoring.

One of the feature races on this card is the Mother Goose, for 3 year old fillies. I was sort of surprised to see it scheduled at this time of year - I remember when it was part of the Triple Tiara series on the Belmont spring calendar, along with the Acorn and the Coaching Club American Oaks. Leroy Jolley is famous for referring to the matchup of his Meadow Star and Lite Lite as "the mother of all gooses."

[I'm posting this contest thread early since I have a (hopefully) minor surgery on my hand on Friday. Hopefully I'll still be able to join in the contest by Saturday.]
