Just got from Belmont, first horse race ever and it was badass. there was some serious noise in there when the horses come down the homestretch, great atmosphere

Ended up about $170 up at the end of the day, me and my buddies all covered our expenses and finished up a little on top. I won mine on race 12 when I hit the exacta box for $3. Would have had it a second time the next race but I forgot to box it

what a shite show. i hate wagering on horses in the slop. everybody at the race track was stunned.

Belmont was rocking when AK made his move on the far turn but when i saw that i yelled to my friends that it was way too early. typical jockey mistake in this race.

was really impressed with Nehro in this race. i didn't think he'd finish that well at this distance plus with the track condition. such a versatile horse. horse of the year? we'll see. it' completely up for grabs now.

Well... It's horse racing

pissed off that I've bet stay thirsty in every race but this one, but glad he's living up to his potential.

Sorry about the bad tip on Cajun diva but hope you listened on our horse. I told hg right before I went to the paddock to bet him, but he didn't

a jockey was right behind me watching the belmont and started screaming "what are you doing?" when ak syarted his move. Oh well.

Also, nehro has to win more than his maiden to be 3 yr old of the year

just read that velasquez lost both stirrups at the start. I'm amazed he got himself together and finished the race. I saw the bad start, but from where I was watching didn't see him lose his irons.

Guess that's horse racing. You never know what is going to happen.

yeah i don't think he got settled until well into the back stretch run. at the track Durkin didn't see AK's problems out of the gate so didn't hear and we couldn't really see why he got a bad start.

thanks for the tip. scored a little one with your pony

and to whoever said the Belmont had a bunch of trolls walking around is severely misinformed. there were good looking women all over the place yesterday.

watched NBC's call last night. i'm liking Larry Collmus more and more.

Yup

got one in the fourth, but if he hits the board I will be a little shocked the way he's been running. Nicely bred colt too.

My buddy at work that I was talking to on Saturday about the race was able to get one if his buddies in BR to make a bet for him. He hit a $10 exacta and $10 win. Happy for him, but I wish I could have gotten a chance to get to the OTB!

Nehro suffered an injury during the Belmont apparently. month or so layoff then pointed toward the Breeder's Cup Classic

Nehro to Undergo Surgery for Ankle Chip

good fields in the Foster and Pegasus this Saturday to go along with the Royal Ascot races all week

aspy, wherever you are.. what do you think about Havre De Grace as an early HOTY favorite? that would make three fillies in a row.
