Pretty Elusive could be the real deal. Yea she drifted badly. Curlin left for the parking in his debut as well. She flashed a little talent, maybe she can hold off Gomez today?

He only rides when he feels like it anyway.

Pretty surprised that Backseat Rhythm is 9-2, thought for sure she'd be lower.

Jason Blewitt said something like "she doesn't seem to want to compete anymore since turning three".. Really? She looks like the same suck-up dirt horse who prefers turf that she's always been. Her last turf race can definitely be excused, as she had to close into possibly the slowest fractions I've ever seen on the new GP course (:25 2/5, :50 3/4, 1:14 4/5).

Was never a fan of hers and I'm certainly not a fan of the connections.

She's probably not much but she certainly could've been handled a bit better.

Down to 5-2 now, that's more like it. Tough to find value in this race, but I'd say it's Borrowing Base at 9-1.

Well that worked out. I guess it was Javier's turn to get an unpressured stroll around the track. It's like the Belmont jockeys suddenly lose their minds when switching to turf.

Sentimental Union ran 2nd (and they went 1-2 around the track, if I'm not mistaken)

Need more be said.

The first four finishers ran 1-2-3-5 down the backstretch. This seems to happen a lot on the Belmont turf. The jocks take turns getting gift wire-to-wire victories.

I dont think a guy who has over 9000 posts on here should be commenting on IQ levels.

I'm pretty sure all it took to see that Diamondrella was tremendous value was two eyes and a brain, and Andy definitely has that.
