Post mortem. Bad ride on Tacitus. Disappointing Triple Crown for me. Ready to move on to Monmoth, Saratoga and Del Mar, Ladies World Cup, College World Series.


Not sure what anyone saw in Sir Winston except a swami bet for D Day. Roamin nailed the exacta and the winner and so did Cruzan.

Good for Roamin. I'm glad to see him win after running second so many times. Problem is, he is probably so far ahead now that none of the rest of us can catch him. Joevia is the "Somebody done somebody wrong song," for me, anyhow.
Had Tacitus and Sir Winston in tris on top, but left Joevia out. Was hoping that Spinoff might be able to take some of the starch out of his sails, but didn't happen. I'll die saying that name with my last breath,"Joevia, Joevia."(think about Orson Welles).

Cal828, thanks for the good words. I have chosen Sir Winston previously in TB and his last race in Belmont. He handled the track pretty good and it was only fitting to go with him one more time. Tacitus was the horse to beat and that was my choice which it came out ok for me. Had real $$$$ on Sir Winston.

Great to hear. A great bet like that deserves recognition. In spite of my loss, I have always loved the Belmont Stakes. It seldom disappoints and yesterday was no different. It is always entertaining and sometimes you make money too. Who could ask for more than that!!

Congrats, Roamin. The next best thing to making money on the horses is for our friends to do the same.
