Stewart Elliot, Ronnie Franklin, and even Calvin Borel when going for his personal triple crown made one fatal mistake on Belmont Stakes Day.  I believe that they did not have a mount or enough mounts on the undercard of Belmont Stakes Day so they were unable to get a feel for how Big Sandy is.  Even if its one race, Super Mario better get a feel with at least one mount one the day.  You have to give the kid credit that in 4 starts this year, he has given the horse flawless perfect rides.   The question is can he do it again in the Belmont Stakes?  From prior history, he has a huge mountain to climb especially now with a big field of 13 expected.  I would agree that the distance, pressure, and inexperience over Belmont is all going to come to a head on June 9th and it will be interesting to see what happens.  Just hoping for fast and firm that day.  That\'s all.

This is how the horse looks when Dutrow is not putting steroids in him every 15th of the month.  He is an very good horse in a so-so class.  Just look at the results of the first place finisher of the Belmont in last weeks Jim Dandy.

RAGS TO RICHES LOSING TODAY SHOWS THAT THE BELMONT RACE WAS A \"FLUKE\" AND THAT THEY MADE SURE TO KEEP CURLIN BOXED IN.  FINALLY, A HORSE CAME ON HER OUTSIDE AND WENT BY HER.  SHE SHOULD HAVE BEATEN THAT FIELD EASILY ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT IT WAS RESTRICTED TO HER OWN AGE AND SEX OF 3 YO FILLES. TAKE NOTHING AWAY FROM LEAR\'S PRINCESS WHO IS A NICE FILLY, BUT RAGS TO RICHES SHOULD HAVE BEATEN THE FIELD EASILY STILL.  DON\'T YOU FIND IT INTERESTING THAT ALL THREE PLETCHER HORSES OWNED BY MICHAEL TABOR TODAY RAN LIKE THEY DID.  THE GREEN MONKEY, THE LEOPARD, AND RAGS TO THE RICHES ALL WERE NOT FULLY CRANKED UP. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME IN A BIG RACE WHERE A PLETCHER HORSE WAS PASSED THE LAST 1/8 OF MILE.  SHE WILL PROBABLY GET A DECENT FIGURE OF 1 OR 0 BECAUSE OF WEIGHT AND BEING THREE WIDE, BUT AS FOR THE BREEDERS CUP, WILL SHE BE ABLE TO RACE WIDE AND OVERCOME THAT ON A SPEED BIASED RACE TRACK LIKE MONMOUTH?

What happened to Belmont being offered to Brisbet account holders. I had Aqueduct and now I can not play New York.

How many satellite packages, cable packages, internet wagering accounts, and phone accounts do I need to play, oh say, five or six tracks.

A total of 10..............

Silver Charm, Belmont is only available to individuals with TVG accounts or those who pay through the youbet.com.  Its nuts, I have an account with Ameritab/Winticket, which is similar to BRISBET, and TVG got in a beef with them over the accounts and took all their exclusive tracks away.  Oh, you can bet Arlington, Hollywood, Calder, etc. over the phone, but not online.  TVG is dying a slow death because they were betting it all basically on Street Sense winning and coverage of the Triple Crown. If they don not straighten things out, all those guys will be working for HRTV.  Or they will become the Harness Racing Quarter Horse Network.  It is time for everyone to get together so that we can have one betting service, one network or a few channels for every track possible.  As these entities fight and hurt each other, the harshest victim is not Ameritab, HRTV, TVG, etc, but instead the bettors get screwed.

Pletcher goes 0 for 5 with not even sniffing the wire or contending.  HMMM..... Unless the derby moves to Gulfstream Park or Saratoga, he will never win a derby unless he gets that super horse that does not need the juice if you know what I mean.  His super horse this year could be Rags to Riches.  Scat Daddy or as I call him Rat Daddy-Ran at GP for 3 starts with 2 wins and 1 third, hmmm... finishes 18th in the Derby.  What is Pletcher\'s record in Dubai 0 for something.  How about last years breeders cup, 0 for something for wins.  It is not coinciencidental that these things are happening because of the the use of drugs or with some chemistry being involved during the year if you know what I mean.  Anyways, Street Sense proved his victory on Breeders Cup Juvenile Day was not just luck or biased because of the golden rail as it may have been for other horses (Dreaming of Anna, Round Pound, Thor\'s Echo to name a few)  Congratualations to Street Sense, Calvin Borel an underrated rider on the circuit, Carl Nafzger (a good trainer), and the owners.

No Biz Like Shobiz ran the final three furlongs in 38.56 seconds, with the final furlong of 13.44 in there.  Plus, Magna Graduate won under wraps under the wire.  Don\'t get me wrong, No Biz Like Shobiz is a nice horse but once he figures it out professionally, he will be a force to wreckon with.  If you watch his Remsen and Holy Bull, he ran the same way lugging out and goofing around into the stretch looking around, while pulling away.  In the Wood Memorial, he did not goof around in the stretch but was sharp early with blinkers and rank.  Once he figures out how to relax and not goof around in the stretch, he could be a great horse with an explosive acceleration.  If he figures that out in time for the derby, I could not tell you.
