Triple Crown Game: Third Leg - Belmont

I know that.

 

1 Aikenite - Javier Castellano 20-1
2 Schoolyard Dreams - Eibar Coa 15-1
3 Pleasant Prince - Julien Leparoux 20-1
4 Northern Giant - Terry Thompson 30-1
5 Yawanna Twist - Edgar Prado 30-1
6 Jackson Bend - Mike Smith 12-1
7 Lookin At Lucky - Martin Garcia 3-1
8 Super Saver - Calvin Borel 5-2
9 Caracortado -Paul Atkinson 10-1
10 Paddy O?Prado - Kent Desormeaux 9-2
11 First Dude - Ramon Dominguez 20-1
12 Dublin - Garrett Gomez 10-1

 

What's the weather supposed to be like? If Super Saver is a mudder, it better be wet if he wants to win.

 

Looks like it is supposed to rain tonight, but be sunny tomorrow. So I'd bet the track will be fairly fast and not muddy.

Looking at Lucky won.

No Triple Crown this year.

 

I thought the Derby winner might be a mudder. He was.

 

I'm disappointed I didn't get to watch the Preakness yesterday

 

It was awesome too, R...J. There were 4 horses running down to the wire together. I love those kinds of races!

 

Ha, I knew Lookin At Lucky had it in him! I found this one even more exciting than the Derby.

I didn't get to watch the Preakness as it aired; got stuck with second shift at work that evening, unfortunately. Definitely need to request first shift for the Belmont.

 

The Belmont is 3 weeks from Saturday, right?

 

It's always the first Saturday in June, so we have two weeks to wait from this upcoming Sat.

 

It's Belmont time!!!! No Triple Crown option and Lookin' At Lucky isn't racing so

If a Triple Crown was at stake, I would have included Belmont in the Colors game*



*that, and I forgot it's coming up on Sunday.

2008-2009 L.A. Lakers: World Champions!

 

*buzzer sound*

Try again, its not on Sunday.

 

The day after Friday?

2008-2009 L.A. Lakers: World Champions!

 

Oh Lucky, how you break my heart so. Though the Crown's not at stake so no harm, no foul I suppose.

I'm not really sure about this one. I really liked Ice Box's performance in the Derby, but I'm up in the air at this point.

 

Yeah, me too. I'll prolly do what I usually do and pick the WinStar farm entry.

 

Even though I have to miss the live running of this race as well, I'm still going to be catching it on DVR after work.

Win: Ice Box
Place: Interactif
Show: Spangled Star

I look for Interactif to be up there, but you never know.

Edit: Which reminds me, Interactif needs to be added to the roster.
