1) There was nothing miraculous about the d\'tara win. You must be kidding.  Lightly raced horse, hall of fame trainer, every possible \'aid\' in a race like this. You must have a low criteria for the word miracle.

 2) As much as I respected BB\'s efforts in the Derby and Preakness, there was no way to have \'confidence\' in his winning the Belmont.  Too many possible issues, not the least of which was the hoof problem and the need for the Dutrow \'mojo\' to keep working under extreme observation.

 I would have liked to see a win, was prepared for a pullup out of the gate. And would not have bet on him with Renmimbi.

A pair up with short spacing and a slow top. Sounds like a great bet. Glad you had it dad.
