The day the music died... where were you?

[Kingturf]

Slewbopper- It seems everybody on this forum bet Birdstone. Amazing. Everyone bet a 36/1 shot.


It was a reason he was 36-1, most people did bet him....

I would think betting against Smarty Jones in all prior races and the Belmont for this fact. Because I bet Smart Jones sire (Elusive Quaility) when he was a Bill Mott speed ball who broke a world record on a turf course that was hard as asphalt 4th of July weekend about 10 years ago! Can't see him winning at a mile and half.

I took a chance on a horse that I bet in the derby. Besides, if you bet Nick Zito horses in stake races. He will give you a clue in the final workout...either 5f in 1:00 or less or 4f in 48 seconds or less.

I call this the Nick Zito championship blow out. Go back on all of his graded earners...every last one had this workout!

The man trained under the great Woody Stephens who owned the Belmont Stakes in the 80's.

Btw that wasn't the biggest price horse I caught in a Belmont stakes...the IRS knows which one I hit.
