If he wins he needs to begin getting some respect. If he doesn\'t then everyone was right. Hoping for a clean race and a safe trip for all.

Hopefully he finally gets some respect.

Or you\'ll read about excuses for the ripped up tickets.

That was another whipping he laid on them.

This is one nice horse.

The last time everyone was right was sometime back in the days of King Arthur.

I agree. He hadn\'t even pulled up and I got a text saying Tonalist will Kill Him in the Belmont. He might but right now this horse has won 3 Grade Ones in a row by open lengths. He is a very good athlete and makes his own trip. Before he is discounted at the Belmont distance remember Bold Forbes got there and this horse might be the only speed in the race.....

No intent on rubbing it in here. There were people who wisely went against the grain and tried to beat him at that price. Just take the high road and no excuses when he wins!!!

[TGJB]

At least one horse had an excuse. Whether it made a difference is anyone\'s guess.

In other news, the great Tycoon Cat just won at MTH with a furious late rally. Tail flip included.

Certainly would have been second, at worst.  bbb

If u are talking social inclusion, he got beat 8 lengths.  Forget it.  

Trainer and jockey both need to go.   U can\'t get a horse off a 6 week layoff to go classic distances with 3 furlong breezes.  No bottom (again).   Getting out of gate 5th and getting a wide trip means Contreras needs to go.  

Chrome way the best of this crop.   Very good run by ride on curlin.   Borel having an ugly triple crown.  Dead last beaten 30 lengths, after stupidly pressing the pace, a race after he made a left hand turn out of the gate and took ride on curlin to last.

Not SI. Arod.

I\'m not home, so can\'t watch replays until tomorrow.

But its hard to imagine that whatever excuse he may have had would have made a difference in the top slot.

[Silver Charm]

Well said. Holding your composure is part of the deal, and right now SI is struggling with this.

Everyone wins with a BIG Belmont Day. Racing stays relevant nationally for 3 more weeks and all of California will be watching. There has been a lot of good analysis and opinion on this Board over the last 6 weeks and now there will be time for about 3 weeks more.

Derby ride aside no way that was Borel\'s decision to send today, more likely the clueless owner.

[slewzapper]

Filly took Bayern out straight away from the gate, then she backs into ARod after insanely prompting the pace, finishes last. Brilliant decision by the owner to run here - moves the filly from Baffert, then takes out his colt.

According to the Herd Whisperer, ARod was just going to join up with Social Inclusion and buddy with him to the wire without passing...which he did anyway.

Tell the Herd Wisperer that if GAR doesn\'t get stopped at the 5/16 pole he runs over SI by a pole.

[slewzapper]

No thanks, you can tell him.

Unfortunately, we\'ll never know thanks to the filly. JC was on a roll today.
