        I\'m looking fot Dutrow to go back to back in the Suburban. Liked last race by Wild Desert  ( first under Dutrow ) and he will have him tighter for this which should mean a move up. The 1 1/4 should be to his liking as well. Invasor looks like a bounce.

       CtC,

             Agree with your thought. I stated in a post on Belmont day that the figures are to be thrown out because of the distance. It is just such a unique distance, IMO the Belmont at 1 1/2 miles for 3 yo is an entity all it\'s own. Very difficult to apply \"speed\" figures to it. No reason to not take the after race figures with a grain of salt as well.

             At the very least you should factor in with your handicapping of their next start. Just my opinion on the Belmont in particular.


           

      Yeah, he got caught between a rock and a hard place. Eddie Arcaro just rolled over.

    richiebee, you are correct about the starter. The new starter, Scott Jordan, had his crew load the horses but Duncan ( Bob ? ) pushed the button for the start.

   I would have thought they would have at least backed Ex Caelis out of the gate to give her a look over before letting her run. She was vertical in the air and the rider just slid down her backside.

   

     Let\'s go GERONIMO !

     1ST - Point Determined

     2ND - Bob and John

     3RD - Bluegrass Cat

     4TH - Showing Up


      Best of Luck,

     
     

     Those overnighters out west must be some tough hustle!

    I like the weight break for Melhor Ainda in here. Rider and trainer don\'t hurt her chances any either. Combine all the above with a another forward move and she looks like the play. I believe she will run down Sand Springs to get the nod.
