everyone wants CC to win, count me in. But everybody will probably play a Tri-Box 134567891011-134567891011-134567891011 for 50 cents = $360 looking for the 2B OOTM and this type of payout...... including me :smoking: and maybe even Art Sherman Shush()*

Been there, Done that.

I wouldn't go near Belmont that day. Should be 130,000+

Last time we went, it took 1 and half hours to get out of the parking lot. and we parked in the Horsemen's lot.

No Thank you

Thats Gillette stadium every home game ^<<^

I'm hoping the stud does it too. I was born in 77' so I missed the last Crown Crown Crown.

 

[honzie]

No, Gillette is a breeze by comparison. Years ago I left out of there on Belmont day and it was as bad as any other event I ever attended... just a total nightmare pain in the ass!!!

 

[HuskerFan1]

put me in the camp those who love horse racing never seen it (its the last thing on my sports bucket list i want to see, not counting in person) so there is a good chance i could shed a tear or 2 if this horse wins on saturday. having said that my upset special is the other CC in the race, think that horse is peaking with better effort after better effort and is well rested, have heard he is training well and should love the distance, im hoping his odds stay around the 15-1 ML or maybe drift up a bit with all the $2 win tickets CC is gonna get for souvenirs.

[Betallsports]

LOL, well I wouldn't be mad if he Won.
Not putting a lot on it, where I would be pissed and he won the Triple Crown.

 

[GoSooners]

So which horse is the ringer in this race that could upset the apple cart? I'm not familiar with a couple of these names.

Tonalist is the ringer here IMO

 

[shdw01]

I'm not betting on CC to do it.....but if you do I did notice at one of my books the odds on CC winning the belmont were different than the odds on CC winning the triple crown.

bet wisely
