Two Year Olds at Belmont Today

[10 pnt move up]

nice call

Hard to believe that all they could scrape up for a open 2 yo race at Belmont Park is 2 NY breds, a filly, a Wesley Ward piece and 2 others.

Actually 3 NYB's as Ward horse is one also. And the Salzman horse was a $7k yearling. Not saying that it was not an impressive debut but that is a sad field.
BTW- I trained the dam of Ward's horse, made a big score one day on her, last race at Saratoga, 1st time turf, Bailey off. Chavez on, $35

The Pletcher filly was one of just two or three that he nominated to the Derby week 2yo stake--and he did so before she ever debuted--as it turns out, she's not much.

Like Rupert said...the Aldebaran may have only won narrowly, but was a lot more impressive.

I've noticed a trend that a lot of horses who wear blinkers at their 2yo in training preview---tend to be slow breakers in their debut, and often race erratic...and some are just plain busts. This one looked well though.

Super call, Rupert. Very nice at 6-1.

Was he on your list?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

No.

The last horse from my list to run just missed the track record at CD on Sunday. I had one on Saturday blow the start badly and finish 2nd...luckily it was too short of a price. Also at CD.

I'm quite sure I caught her in the daily double that day.

I loved Blazing Fury in the race prior---and played him in doubles with all but about two horses in the next race....and I believe those two finished either 2nd and 3rd or 2nd and 4th behind you.

That is correct. I was second in the race before, the Saranac(i think) with a horse named Fast City behind Blazing Fury. I had a major ticket on my horses in the double.

Very nice call.
