Thoughts about Belmont Day at Saratoga . . .

[DonGuido]

1. Was the track souped up or was it just the weather that made it so fast?

2. Sierra Leone would have won if he was't sandwiched out of the gate. That had to throw him off and if the race would have been a mile and a half either here or at Belmont, he was closing at the wire and I believe he would have taken the race in another 1/4 mile.

3 What's the timelone for getting racing back to Elmont, NY? Oh I love Saratoga big time and the crowd was amazing but it just seemed odd.

4. It was a dissapointing race to me for all the above reasons, which is how I felt about The Derby too.

5. I don't even remember who won the Preakness, but I don't remember a lot of things any more. So far, the racing year has been uninspiring to me.
