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....

Yes!! Very Peter Falkesque...."just one more question"

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..............

Maybe it just looks like Alpha likes New York because he doesn't face much when he's there. Best G1 effort is either a distant 2nd to Union Rags or a 2nd to Gemologist beating 3rd place Teeth of the Dog. He did "crush" Speightcity and Tiger Walk in the Withers.

I was a big Rags believer, and with the Belmont on deck, I can't figure out why I liked him so much. My eyes were fooling me when my head was saying "look at the figs".

I'm also intrigued by alpha. Seems like Alpha and Paynter are the only horses fast enough to potentially upset iha if he runs his race, which I assume he will.

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.

huh? all I saw was:

Marathon - Brigantin
Juvenile Turf - Farraaj
Sprint - Force Freeze
Turf Sprint - Great Attack
Mile - Trappe Shot
Turf - Sarafina
Juvenile - Optimizer
Turf Mile - Goldikova
Classic - So You Think

[munster705]

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
