I still don't see where the Saturday entries have been posted at NYRA.

Anyone know when they'll be available?

BELMONT RUNNERS PP'S

Any idea's as to where the PP's could be downloaded for the belmont saturday card when they come out?

Appreciate the help...

You talk a lot about developing 3 year olds and their tendencies to pair up figures and move forward. In looking at the pp it appears that Atigun Dullahan and Paynter all fit with that general theory. That said, it looks like I'll Have Another may also be eligible for either a pairing of the Preakness figure or another step forward. Any thoughts?

It's certainly not what anyone wanted to see, but this statement is just silly.

It is not silly when the official attendance is taken tomorrow

Again, I don't think that correlates to the quality of the field. The main attraction is going to be sorely missed and will impact attendance, handle, etc. My point is that the other horses are still (at least 4-5) talented horses with bright futures.

bright futures is the polite way of saying "hasn't done anything yet"

the race is tomorrow so hopefully the bright future is 24 hours away....imo the field is made up of past there prime and not mature enough horses...none of them are clicking on all cylinders right now and it might be a competitive race but a superstar will not be born tomorrow

tanner12oz clearly didn't catch the last couple runnings of the Belmont. That 2010 field sure was dynamite.

Who said that?

[HaloWishingwell]

The way Velazquez sat on the sulky and guided him home, no doubt the best three year old trotter around.

Lots of sour grapes on here.

No sour grapes here, I made money betting on the race. What was really sour was that the top two finishers from both the Derby and the Preakness were not running so to me it certainly was not " the test of a champion."
