He was flying late in the Derby and had plenty of excuses.....I'll Have Another won't be at his best after running his eye balls off 2 in a row....the rest o them are heading to the glue factory after the race....

I'm not as against him as others. I was being sincere when asking for your rationale. But there are plenty of horses that can "fly late" and manage to continuously come up short as an underlay.

Personally, I don't think the speed ceiling is much higher than what rags has already shown. Thus, you're counting on iha regressing. I don't see that happening....at least not 14 points.

How'd that work out with Went the Day Well?

I don't hate Union Rags in the Belmont, but I can't see how he'll improve enough to win. I think Matz overthought his options with him after the Derby.

Went the Day Well was always questionable on dirt....Union Rags is not.

Given the brilliance of your last Belmont Stakes selection, I doubt anyone on this board will ignore your selection....

Alpha clearly dislikes Churchill Downs, just look at him on a NY track, never worse than second, will relish the distance, and is fresh , just like Union Rags, it could be the cold exacta, just like last years Champagne, As Woody Stephens said "When you cross the Hudson, those buildings get awful big" and he should know. Won 5, that's right 5 str8 Belmonts..............

How about this one is regard to last year's Classic?

Oh well, that's why they call it gambling. I will not be betting Unclo Mo at 2-1 that is for sure. The only other horse I like at decent odds is Drosselmeyer

Picking Drosselmeyer is the internet redboard version of picking Lilacs and Lace as representative that Flower Alley is a pretty sweet sire.

I am pretty sure we all miss a hell of a lot more than we hit....for the record I did end up on Drosselmeyer, redboarding or not
