Winner in the 9th at Belmont today in a MSW mile for Jim Jerkens.
I'm putting him on my "watch list".

I didn't see the race today but I am assuming he won wire to wire. I highly doubt he will ever win without the lead. He aint much horse.

Not wire to wire, came from second, and a wide move, driving. (Luzzi)
To each his own, you might not think he's much of a horse.
I have a different opinion.
Very good splits. (consistant)

I realize Jimmy Jerkens is a miracle worker but Rick Schosberg is a very good trainer and this horse is a bum.

Today's field was pretty poor....don't you think?

The replay is up at the nybreds.com site.
After you watch it, you might change your mind.
If you think this was a weak field, ok with me.
As I said, to each his own.

So you don't think it was a weak field?

I agree that it wasn't the strongest, but I've seen worse.
I'd rate it low average.

OK, I watched the race, and seriously, he has probably won his last parimutual contest. Please don't bet this horse in the future. I give him credit for rating, which he has never done successfully in the past, but he had a dream trip.

Remember, if Herb Castillo rides the runner up, the winner could not have run well.

Interesting viewpoint, and I'll consider.
I liked the way he rated also, and the way he closed.
As far as betting him in the future...I'll just to see who's against him in the next.
One thing I do know about horses...keep your options open.
