Belmont Week . . . stuff here

[DonGuido]

Notes, comments, etc from all . . . put it here. Again we have a $200 wallet to have so much fun with. Double points for 1st thru 4th place. I'll post the points and ROI threads as soon as we have the entries up. As JB already said the Belmont itself leaves little to get excited about thanks to the Derby Stewards. The rest of the card as usual should be awesome.

And then we wait for Monmoth Saratoga and Del Mar. Ohhhhh my. Is it summer yet???

Questions or input???

All 13 races?

[cal828]

What are the thoughts about that? Race 1 post time is 11:35 ET. Do we have to start there or could we start with Race 3 which goes off at 12:57 ET?
All races from Race 3 to Race 13 except Race 12 are Stakes (8 are Graded). That's still 11 races for those that like to flagellate themselves with handicapping. Or is the thinking that since we have more money to play with, we should do more to earn it?

The early bird gets the worm
The second mouse gets the cheese
And then the big ole CAT comes along and gets em all

This Cat is NOT AN “EARLY BIRD”

The later starting time the better in the Rocky Mountain ‘High’ Zone

RACE 3 = IT TIZ FOR ME

What a bunch of whiners. I'll have another wine and sleep on it. ESSSH!!! DON'T lose any sleep over it, I won't. I coulda said belly ackers but that would date me. G'a night all!

Do more to earn it, exactly. You're already doing just fine but ya could do better, me freaking too!

Hey Don, don't hold back. You're among friends so you can tell us how you really feel.

Better yet, tell me you brand of wine - I could use a little of it.

p.s. - Have any of you looked at the Met Mile - an incredible handicapping puzzle, with lots of different ways to approach it.

OKie Dokie, let's start with Race 3 and go all the way through race 13, The Woodford Reserve Brooklyn Invitational, which looks like an easy one to bust our tired handicapping brains after the first 10.

I'll put up the Points and ROI threads later today or first thing tomorrow morning for our 11 race Belmont Day card.

The wine did the trick!!! Oh and JB if it's red I like a nice rich and smooth Malbec and for white, we get the big bottles of Pinot Grigio for Patty and I'm an oaky Chardonnay guy.
