Your ego and competitive obsession will be your undoing.

Allen Iwinski is 0 for 18 because his horses don’t belong in Belmont. He has lot of young horses and they just aren’t belmont types. Sean Avery just ran 3rd to Munnings a 1.7 million dollar purchase. Allen has been out of training for 3 years due to illness. Watch him in the future he will be back racing at that percentage.

Haha. He did give Ginger Punch some kind of ride. That’s some heart on that filly. As for the Whitney, Rising Moon was hung wide early and if you look at where he was placed, he did not take too kindly to having dirt kicked in his face. For that matter, none of the others did either. The quick rain before the Whitney really helped Commentator; but that was still some performance from him.

Yeah, I guess Bejarano isn’t THAT good.

Cowtown Cat would be a big surprise for me. Even if he was fast enough, I don’t think the race plays to his favor. It would shock me if anyone in the top three or four at first call get the distance.

Plus, Saratoga has been playing quite fair for the sustaining runners due to all the rain they’ve received this week. If it rains today, the rail might go dead again and that would benefit closers breaking fromt he outside posts, and they usually pay big prices.

Yeah, Cowtown Cat has done absolutely nothing since that abysmal showing in the Derby last year, but something tells me that he’s about to make a resurgence. I think Bejarano could be the X-factor here.

I really wish Giant Gizmo was still in this one.

Great race featuring 3 great horses.

Comment on Synthetics In New York? by glenvargas

I like synthetic–if for no reason other than simply because it makes things a whole hell of a lot more interesting when horses cross over from dirt to synth or back.
I also like to imagine that cushion tracks are actually mile-long, pink foam ovals and that all horses will be robots in 15 years.

Rough Day…

Only one winner. Positive Prospect in the eighth. Ouch.
