Sat 6/11: Belmont Stakes Day

[OptionalClaimer]

Let me start the Belmont Stakes day card thread. NYRA has jammed several good races into one card..
I only care about three horses running that day:
1-Carina Mia
2-Flintshire
3-Exaggerator

In fact Exaggerator - Cherry Wine will run 1-2 again just like the Preakness.
Exaggerator is the best 3-YO in the country. He has been perfectly handled from day 1. That's what happens when you have a hands on trainer. Not like Pletcher or Baffert who just burn out their horses.

Nyquist will never beat Exaggerator this year or next


Carina Mia will beat Cathryn Sophia & Rachel's Valentina

Flintshire is a beast can't wait to see him run

I will have 3 singles that day.

2009 Belmont Stakes, Summer Bird (1st)
2012 Belmont Stakes, Guyana Star Dweej (DNF)
2015 Belmont Stakes, Keen Ice (3rd)

Notables: Real Quiet and Big Brown were making Triple Crown bids. Big Brown looked damn unbeatable going in.

He has more Did-Not-Finishes than wins. Wonder what the line is on that? LOL

Just wanted to wish everyone good luck tomorrow on Belmont Stakes day.

 

[OptionalClaimer]

Just wanted to say Exaggerator wins the Belmont easily. He's heads and tails the best 3-YO in the country. In fact I'm going on record to say he won't lose another race this year.

 

[Lt1]

Wow that's pretty far out there OC. I think that's wishful thinking on your part. I wish you good luck with that prediction.

 

[Ketch]

Might throw Brody's cause in there he beat exaggerator 2x.

 

[OptionalClaimer]

2 of my 3 singles I wrote about days ago have won. The biggest lock runs next Exaggerator

Exaggerator lost and appears to have an injury

 

[OptionalClaimer]

Glad to say he isn't injured, just had nothing today... It's a shame hopefully some of you cashed some big tickets today
