He wasn't running that fast, the winner came home in a click over 14.

yes, all three wearing white. all three trained by mcglaughlin and pletcher, both former assistants to dwl. lukas always had his horses wear white so he could find them easier on the track. they do the same as tribute to the guy who taught them much of what they know.

so, even with all the records, all the wins and eclipses, lukas' greatest legacy will be those who learned from him.

Yep, I was definetely wrong!

I never said he wasn't a nice horse. Kiaran should thank Oracles favorite little jock Gomez for this one, never would have know they would have gone that fast, but Gomez is a bone head. My buddy liked him, so we used him in the pik 4 and hit it, so I could care less if he won or not. He's a better horse than that hog Giacomo, so good for him, and I don't care that I was wrong...

Can you tell me how this guy Milton is now all of the sudden a good pitcher? I mean if you're a Reds fan.Last year he was more of a Triple A pitcher getting beat up in the majors.

Hi - I'm new!

I think Barbaro would have beaten all these horses today! I'll bet there are a few here that agree with me!

I agree with you too!!!!

Barbaro was SO cute in his stall with his sheet all signed and watching the race on the TV. I wanted to cry because he SO should have been running at Belmont today!

Kudos to Scuds and hooves. You had it right on.

It's a little late, but I'm starting to like Jazil! As Scuds said, the horse doesn't quit. Great one to use in matchups.

PS--my "signature" applies particularly well to my Belmont bets.

Scuds, not a big baseball fan, I am very fair weather when it comes to the Reds, if they are winning, I'll pay attention, if not, I could care less. As for Milton, he just had knee surgery, maybe that's what's been bothering him. The two best acquisitions the Reds have made are Arroyo and Brandon Phillips, that Phillips kid was on the scrap heap, and now he's playing pretty well. The Reds have new ownership and a new GM, the new owner has made it clear that they will win and he's going to spend to get it done...
