6/11 (BEL): Belmont, Manhattan, Acorn, Just a Game, Stephens, True North

[slotdirt]

Ruler on Ice was the only horse in the race with an off track win. Now, granted it wasn't a particularly good off track win, but nonetheless.

For those of us not from the NYC who don't get to see Andy Serling regularly, he was pretty phenomenal through the card with his pre-race analysis.

I prefer crazy and odd results over dumb wagering plays and mistakes. I didn't make any mistakes on the race... Not in a millions years would I have played the winner.

But if I were to have bet Ruler On Ice and Stay Thirsty, I'd cry about the exacta payoff.

$2 Exacta - 928.00
$2 Superfecta- 74,052.00
$2 Trifecta - 8,268.00

Feels like they should be higher.

Gio Ponti has the dubious distinction of losing to both Mission Approved (almost lost to him last year as well) and Interpatation.

Gio Ponti was the star of the card.. Why Gio Ponti is even still running in 10f races is an indictment on two levels..The market for decent G1 grass stallions and just how awful G1 routing turf horses are in this country.

They let both of them walk on the front end. Mission Approved was allowed to go 1:17, and he got brave. What were the other jocks thinking allowing him to do that?

Nick,

Has nothing to do with jocks allowing anything in either of the turf events, and everything to do with the soft turf..

It was one thing for CS Silk to do that, but wasn't anybody riding in the Manhattan paying attention to the Just a Game?

I've now noticed my horrendous LIRR grammar and syntax from my earlier post, and I do apologize.

Thank you. That's very nice of you to say.
