I think First Dude runs all day... will be tough.

He's a nice horse, but the wedding/funeral thing will probably keep me off of him.

Anyone got a guess on Fly Down's odds?

It's a saying, "if you weren't there for the wedding, don't be there for the funeral" i.e. if you didn't get a piece of the horse at 25-1 when he lit up the board, don't bet him at 3-1 next time out when you're getting far less value.

Well the Hammer has been talking him up so he could be 2/1 and has no chance at winning

The curse was seen with Caracortado in the Preakness. Was running good then remembered the Hammer loved him and he didnt hit the board

Curse Lives!!!

I am a huge Ice Box fan but believe without a doubt that Fly Down is a better prospect for the Belmont.

Any idea on which Zito runner Lezcano will choose to ride? I imagine that the fact Lapenta is a prominent client of Zito might come into play when it is time to make a commitment. I read that Pell is a newcomer to the sport as an owner, but other than that I don't know much about him.

If there's one thing we know about parimutuel wagering, it's that Hank Goldberg holds all the power.
