Who goes to Belmont??

wac · #1 05-17-2008, 05:52 PM

I cannot believe the horse racing Gods are allowing this to happen. One of the dirtiest trainers ever along with a bunch of smug owners who make me want to puke everytime i see them on tv is one race away from the Holy
Grail. Is there ANYONE out there that can do anything with this horse? All of this with the worst losing streak in my life at the track is making me want to take some time off from racing. I know Casino Drive is going but anyone else? Dennis of Cork?

And before anyone on here tells me that there are a lot of dirty trainers out there i know that already just that Dutblow is so frigging cocky along with the owners it makes me want to friggin puke

It's raining, it's windy and cold, Uncle Teddy's in the hospital, I lost the Preakness and I'm going to the store to get lobster and liquor.

Personally, I don't care who trains/owns the horse as long as Big Brown wins the Triple Crown. Sure it might make a better "story" if Matz/Jacksons owned him but fact is he is a really nice horse. A bit unfortunate that he hasn't had the competition to prove just how good he is, but we still have the Belmont and Casino Drive looks to be the one that sets the bar. Horseracing needs it now more than ever. Go Big Brown!!

As awesome as he was today (and he really was), he's far from a lock. There'll be an ample number of competitors.

There will be, perhaps, an ample number of entries. Competitors? That I highly doubt.

That overhead shot showing BB drawing off at the top of the lane was very very impressive...

Strategic Mission · #11 05-17-2008, 06:18 PM

Only one other horse needs to show up. Casino Drive. He will run right by Big Brown at the 1/16th pole.

#12 05-17-2008, 06:19 PM

LOL. Casino Drive.

It also showed the equally impressive ride that Kentucky Bear got.....not. And the trouble that cost Icabad Crane second.

Does that mean we can expect you to disappear in just over three weeks?

aaaahh...ok! Horse has won two races, a maiden in Japan and the Peter Pan...as weak as this Preakness field was, I can't believe the Peter Pan was better. BB ran a 1:54.4 today, after Kent pulled him back at least 4 times during the race and had his feet clearly pinned to the floorboard down the stretch...Kent ever lets him loose he may fly. Casino Drive, if the connections don't change their minds, could be part of the lowest exacta payoff in TC history...but boxing isn't necessary!

The Bid won it in 1:54.1,Slew in 1:54.2,Affirmed 1:54.2.
Looks like it could have been faster if like you say Kent let him run.

Cardus, i can't say that ive read anything about them but im sure that you see someone in person, tv whatever and you know that you just don't like them. Well thats the case here. I dont like there $2000 suits, sunglasses in the winners circle, just the arrogance that seems to exude from them and there trainer. I mean this is the same group behind the A one rocket fiasco right? I know that there are a lot on here that like Big Brown and are rooting for him to win and thats fine im pretty confident that the horse will win but it doesn't mean im happy about it.
