Default Who's FIRED UP??!!

I know it's only Tuesday, but I can't WAIT for California Chrome to have his shot at history this weekend.

My phone is already lighting up from friends who are more casual fans than I am, asking about his chances.

Anyway, hope we see history this Saturday, and that everyone's Belmont parties are a big success...

Same here only almost everyone seems pissed when I say not to use him in the top two spots.

Someone already said it here but if he wins, I'm happy and tear up some tickets and if he loses I say 'wow that's too bad' and go quietly cash. Rare win-win situation.

That said I'm psyched for Saturday's entire Belmont card.

I'm out of my brain, my productivity has plummeted, and I can't get enough TC news. Listening to Gary Stevens on ATR yesterday, I turned off my cell phone so as not to miss even a minute. On Friday I'll be on the road, and can only hope that rest areas, fuel stops, etc. coincide with the commercial breaks. I'll be watching the race with family and friends while celebrating a milestone birthday for my Mom. Fired up? You might say that.

"Fired up" and then some....cause he is going to do it. I feel it in my bones even more than when Smarty Jones tried. If that's possible.

Just so you know, I won't be at Belmont -- I'll be in Kentucky. Re-reading my post I could see where you might think I was going to be up in Elmont. But yes, it IS going to be awesome. Now it's time for At The Races!

Oh, well I am sure you will still have a great time.. Maybe not as good as if you were actually AT Belmont, but none-the-less I am sure you will have a blast.
