Looking forward to seeing Indian Blessing at 1 1/16 now that she's learned how to rate!

That is one awesome renewal of the Garden City. I really don't understand the placement though. It drew seven betting interests, not five. That's only one less than the Ruffian got, and it should be just as contentious a race, if not more. IMO, it's a way more interesting race, yet it's being run at 2:03..

Supposedly to avoid rain coming from Hanna/Gustav or one of those systems.

Didn't think of that. Good call, though I doubt 2 1/2 hours will make much difference.

If current forecasts are true, Belmont will be lucky to be open Saturday

Bummer, a couple of VERY LUCKY girls will certainly get BENT OVER (along with their supporters) in the Garden City. Luck can only get one so far and it certainly would be a shame if the weather got in the way of what will be a very delicious event.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you're referring to My Princess Jess as one of the bent over candidates?

LOL @ Hossy's sig.

...a good reason to bet a horse based wholly on its name, I don't know how you can do much better than Backseat Rhythm. It sounds naughty, but not in a low-brow way. More of a smoother, hipper way.

im loving the Pure Clan-Satans Circus exacta in here, hoping they bet a few others hard and get some value here.

Can she run if it stays on the turf ?
