Blatant. If I said that it would be NYRA bashing.

You realize that Belmont has held prior to race 10 14 Graded Stakes sofar. Chad Brown has won 9 of 14 All Surfaces and an astounding 8/9 on the Turf but the Beauty he has won with only 3 favorites on the Turf and has 5 Double Digit Winners on the Turf

Expect more of this tomorrow. He has 2 of 7 in the Just a Game and 4 of 10 in the Manhattan.

I’m trying to figure out how Jose set it up for his brother. Red Zinger was rank and threw her head going into the first turn. Jose let her run instead of fighting her.

Is the claim that he acted like a rabbit?

Pace was going too slow, which is not what they wanted, so middle move to nowheres land that never wins, then get over to the rail so the 8 could get by in the 2 path coming off the turn. I gotta go watch the mybigitalian replay and review what was going on there

You didn’t see Giant Zinger was rank going into the first turn? You didn’t see her throw her head? She was fighting Jose. She resisted being rated and predictably settled once she got clear.

But assuming the first part of what you say is correct (it’s not)...you think Jose knew Irad was going to go from 3 wide around the first turn and up the backstretch to the rail somehow? And then he knew Montdore was going to tire at just the right time for Irad to get through, so he could beat Competitionofideas by a neck?

Impressive.

He got an assist from Carmouche too who was nice enough to angle the 4 out a little to make sure the 8 could get through the hole Jose opened.

I didn’t see that either, but I am ok with people frustrated by Brown winning literally everything. It isn’t much of a handicapping exercise to do what most did in that race (as I did too) to put down 6,8 and move on.

The handicapping is to figure which other Chad is the one to beat his favorite.

Basically this... example: yesterday’s Manhattan. Thankfully BAM came through because I would have had the wrong one as a backup.
