I'm more interested in how he has horses double ranked, 'cx' , 'AB' , 'BC' ?

I'd love to know if that is him undecided on what level they belong or if he actually assigns both levels to the actual horse.

follow along my what I was trying to say, I should have used more words

Stonegossard says : Probably the best betting card of 2010 so far.


Crist says in retort : The sad reality is that it is now impossible to run a 13-race card in New York-- even once a year on its biggest day -- without resorting to multiple statebred and conditioned-claiming races -- something neither Churchill Downs nor Pimlico had to do to fill 25 races on Oaks and Derby Day and 26 races on Black-Eyed Susan and Preakness Day.


I guess it could be argued what the term "best" means versus quality.

Discreetly Mine runs a blockbuster race to duel with headcase Eightyfiveinafifty and fight well to mid-stretch. I thought he would rate, not send, but he broke well.

D'Funnybone gets the trip of trips.

I saw the race on tape and I was thrilled with DM's performance, but also frustrated. This horse is not a speed demon, so either Javier felt like the colt would have resented being restrained today or he just gave a bad ride. He's a fast horse and should be tough in sprints from hereon out.

How's Alex Solis doing? He took off Tanda in the Acorn and went to the hospital with high blood pressure.

Are they really not going to show the Manhattan on ABC yet refuse to let Twinspires to carry it?!

This industry is so ****ed up.

I couldn't believe when I logged into TS.com when I saw that. Youbet ended up having the video.

Gov. patterson requested a jayZ rap song and the nyra obliged so raise the roof and eat some chicken and watermelon.

Are you frickin' kidding me? This is so anemic. Is it Karaoke Night at Belmont Park ? It's not like they got Jay Z and Alicia Keys to do it, although that would still suck. If I were Belmont I'd have told him to go jump, or played it earlier in the day and done New York, New York before the race like usual.

I think it's hilarious ABC cut it off and went to a commercial break. Here's the real deal, for those disappointed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqlJl1LfDP4

C'mon folks, no need to tear into each other. You're missing out on Kent Desormeaux jokes following the question by Ms Edwards: "Why was Mike Smith an important piece of the puzzle?" I kid, Kent.

Just noticed where Spangled Star finished. Poor Garrett.
