I was really looking forward to the patented Dedumbeaux move from last to first up the back stretch.

Union Rags is one of those horses where you really believe deep down he has to be more talented than he's shown this year, but your horseplayer/contrarian mind is more realistic in that he might just be exposed and will always find trouble and continue to burn money.

He never really was all that great in the first place.

I just don't get why every year or two there is a horse that people go gaga over for no real apparent reason. At least no apparent reason to me anyways.

I realize Union Rags may not be all that great, but he has the pedigree to get it done. Same story with Alpha. Guyana Star Dweej is one that I CAN see hitting the board at a long price. Is he sound?

Woah.

Union Rags has the pedigree to get it done? Get what done exactly? Not win the Belmont, that seems for sure.

IMO, he has a better distance pedigree than most of the field.

i wonder if it's the increasing distances. perhaps they should take him back to a mile and see what happens.

Yep. I'll Have Another probably has the best chance out of anyone else in recent history to win the triple crown based upon his stamina influences alone, but I'm always looking for value ... LOL.

Is Rousing Sermon no longer pointed to the third jewel? I haven't seen or heard anything about his defection. Anyone have the scoop?
