Belmont Beyers

[hockey2315]

For those of you who still believe. . .

Summer Bird - 100 (obviously a little low for the Belmont, but not surprising and probably an impossible fig to come up with because of the lack of other routes on the card).

Diamondrella - 104 - turf fig so it doesn't really matter, but pretty high. This horse gave me my worst beat of 2008 when she blew it in the stretch first out for Penna at 23-1. Six straight wins since then. Penna's incredible.

Gio Ponti - 106 - Guess he's just as good (if not better) at 10F as he is at 8.


Gabby's Golden Gal - 96 - loose lead on a fast track. The connections have Dream Play to thank in my opinion.

Munnings - 110 - Huge performance - Phil wasn't beating him, but maybe he would've made it interesting had he had a better trip. Munnings was also flattered by Just Ben earlier on the card, but I have some doubts about that one's performance.

Fabulous Strike - 111 - total freak and I've always thought he had an interesting stride.

Eldaafer got a 100 for his Brooklyn win in the slop. . .
