Commentator is back

We need some BC Futures now. Why doesn't horse racing put up some BC Futures up this time of year? I know some people here have some pull, how about suggesting it to somebody.

That has long been talked about....Churchill Downs owns the Derby and Oaks so they can implement that wager on their races, but the NTRA and BC committee would have to initiate a BC future wager.....I agree 110% that there is a market for it.....BTW, Vegas allows future wagering on the BC but I don't think they have begun it yet if I'm not mistaken....

Just my two pennies worth...

In race 3 on 7/12, Belmont, I don't think there will be any value at all.
That said, and I'm going out there against the Zito/Coa combo, but I think
the #2 will be beaten by two others. #6 Gold and Roses with GG in the irons, and #1 Bold Decision for Laurie Lafavers will cross the line ahead. I'm not sure whether it will be 6/1 or 1/6. The 2 will get up for the tri.

Good luck!

DTS... No way!! Unless he sustains an injury in this race, there's no way any of these can keep up with Commentator... you're right though, not much betting value in this race.

It will be interesting to watch. I don't think it's implausible that this horse can go 10f. He's very lightly raced and people thought he'd never stretch to 9F, especially after he stopped bad going 2-turns in Florida early last year. But he ran huge in the Whitney as we know. And, for all we know, he could come back even better.

Be interesting to see if they try to take back a bit here, just for the hell of it. Either way, as long as he runs well here, how can you bet against him at Saratoga?

I never get to Vegas and the online sites don't have it either. You would think there would be a nice market for it. I bet in each of the 3 pools for the KY Derby. I have an itch to bet Sweetnorthernsaint in the Classic after he killed me in the derby futures.
