Belmont Stakes???

BigDane · Jun 4, 2006

So guys how bad is the Belmont gonna be this saturday?? The horse from the Derby is out, the winner of the Preakness is out. So that leaves us with Brother Derek right?

I can just see how slow that day is gonna go by.......

Haven't seen a field yet, but would look for horse that ran in the Derby and misses the Preakness.

Where the hell you been? Anyhow - who was the guy that won 5 Belmonts in a row in the 80's? How'd the play end up? Shalom.

Woody Stephens? Best Belmont trainer ever. Also, front end speed usually does okay in Belmont. Everyone always run closers and fractions tend to be slow. Captain, laid up for 3 days with a nasty flu. Heading stateside tommorow.

Sorry to hear about the flu Judge, Hope you are feeling better. Have a safe and wonderful trip!

Yes, Woody, kept thinking Stevens but couldn't get the Woody part. What a great trainer. I was there one year when one of his horses won in the slop for the Belmont. Conquistador Cielo, maybe?

That's the horse Captain. remember watching that race in Morseberger's Tavern in beautiful downtown Catonsville.

States Lucky you. Dont ya wanna take me, I can fit in da suitcase, just make sure I have a small cooler with some beers in it and i will be aight

JudgeWapner · Jun 5, 2006

Dane, to tell you the truth, I'd rather take the week and go to the beach down here.

BigDane · Jun 5, 2006

Yeah beach is great, you go down there and chill and enjoy the warm water and have a nice cold corona and a lovely woman next to you

CollegeKingRex · Jun 5, 2006

mmm...

I'll take either over this hot-box of an office.

I'll settle for Thursday and Friday off so I can watch the World Cup...

Belmont, Judge is on point with his Derby-to-Belmont idea... but two closers in the Derby would be among my choices, so long as they get ANY speed to run at. Jazil would be my gun-to-the-head pick right now.

BigDane · Jun 5, 2006

World cup is gonna be great, Bdizz and I will be watching da games on friday and having a few beers

JudgeWapner · Jun 5, 2006

Quick look, Jazil has a shot. Also like Bob and John, Oh So Awesome, and Sunriver. If I get a chance to chart it, will post who I'm on.

JudgeWapner · Jun 5, 2006

And BG Cat.

JudgeWapner · Jun 5, 2006

Dane, if you don't bet horses that qualifies you as very smart.

CollegeKingRex · Jun 5, 2006

What took you so long? I was riding my bike to get the program to Rosecroft at 7-11 when I was 7, okay, maybe 8. LOL!

BigDane · Jun 6, 2006

He was in the Special Class, they were not allowed to use Bikes or anything with sharp objects until they were 14. LOL Just ask Judge he can verify that.
