Default Belmont Stakes Youbet Show

In the shameless self-promotion category, my Belmont " Playing to Win " show should be up within the next couple of hours. This week's guest is Mike Watchmaker

Even while I make my own choices, I always like to here all opinions and the thoughts of annilist and even the everyday player. Maybe some of you dont like them but I think some of them are quiet good. Even though a little chalky Nick hines is on a roll.

Greatest day of my life, I get to watch 2 shows with Watchmaker. (blinkers Off). I hate to be critical of public handicappers but I think Mike is having a dreadful year making selections in print. However, I enjoy reading his articles and appreciate his ability to make a good morning line.
I was actually guessing that Crist might be on the show this week.

The shows have been great Andy. Best of luck. Hopefully you will get racing luck on some of yours and Mike's choices.

Every entry has to have a weaker half.

You've gotta self-promote and market to get ahead in this competitive world...

Good stuff. I'm with Mike on anti-Stormello and Truffs in the Woody.

All and all a solid show. Besides Mike's shirt. What color was that - salmon? Yikes.

Does Watchmaker have a goiter?

i watched the first part of the show, til you guys wrapped up the belmont stakes portion.

good show, i enjoyed it. was a bit surprised that watchmaker was taken by tiagos gallop out. i don't think the gallop out means much, sure doesn't pay much! i liked your comment about smith wanting to be in the picture!
i also agree that rags didn't beat much by way of fillies in the oaks, but i think she's definitely deserving of being second or third choice in betting.

Andy-

Just saw the show for the first time and really enjoyed it. . . Congrats. . . I like that both you and Watchmaker are playing against English Channel- I was thinking the same thing. . .

Andy,

Another solid effort and you acted like you didn't hate Mike like the first show.

Can the show be as long as you want? Just wondering as I'd like to see more bad trip examples. I like you analyzing past races even if you don't hit them all
