10/7: Belmont Park (1st-9th)

[Kasept]

Wacky Wednesday as dangerous torrential rain washed out Oak Tree/HollyPark, while insane parade of chalk ruled Belmont. Actually had big shot at OK P4 hit in the NY nightcap with Catreign, but she could not deny 4-5 Jersey Shore Girl at the wire. Uggh. The quad payed $21!!! Woo-hoo! Hope you did OK despite the short numbers... Only 2 of the 4 grass events are off the Belmont turf today, and it has the look of a fun betting card. Tons of important stakes to starting talking about on ATR today and Friday!

7th: MSW, 2yo, 7f (P3, DD, Super)

Serious looking, and quirky, MDN affair, and I'm inclined to look beyond the short numbered players; Note Garcia named on both ends of Darley entry which features (#1) Storm 'n Indian, first out son of MGSW Fleet Indian; Debuting Adios Charlie's half brother, Streakin' Mohican, had been scheduled to run Wednesday at HOL..

Speaking of quirky, here's as curious a group as you'll encounter; What makes Quebrada Shiner a 5-2 favorite exactly? She's consistant at least, but I'm looking elsewhere..

<$50 P4 Play:

6: 5-8
7: 2-7
8: 3-9-11

Good luck!

$9.40 on Ae Pit was crazy..

RUDY!

Who wouldn't have expected Brigadier General to do that?

[Kasept]

As I said today on the show, this is a very bad situation.

We have 2 choices. Eat the Chalk or bring our handle elsewhere. I'll do the later and only bet the Graded Stakes which he doesn't participate in..

He showed a lot of speed in his first two. . . that one didn't shock me.

Isn't his barn under 24 hour surveillance?

Granted, this was a pitifully bad field but that horse stopped on a dime in his first two starts. Usually horses like he and Adams Circle finding yet another gear in the last furlong has something to do with artificial help. I'm just sayin...

Obviously these horses are crazy juiced. . . There's no other explanation, but this horse figured on paper to get loose. Chased as the favorite in his debut and then pressed a next-out winner before fading after getting loose behind the gate. I didn't see video of the race yet because of the NYSRWB so maybe he did something more improbable than I realize, but this doesn't seem like the poster child for Rudygate.

[hockey2315]

Also, do you think he wasn't juiced for his first two starts?

In addition to Adams Castle, BB Frank ran a pretty amazing race yesterday as well. And Endless Circle only put in his "usual" post-claim performance.
