Title: Triple Crown 2019
Post by: jbelfior on May 18, 2019, 04:18:01 PM
Derby: Country House
Preakness: Everfast

By the time the Belmont is over, this could end up better than going to GA.

Why bother?!!?

Good Luck,
Joe B.

Country house I can accept. I even used him in the Derby. Everfast defies any rationale that I’m familiar with but so did Tale of Verve.

The rationale on Everfast is he got on the best part of the racetrack & got carried home. Track biases often carry horses.  

The tough part was there was no way of knowing in advance Everfast would be riding a golden rail down the stretch.  

I\'m downgrading any horse today who rode the golden rail in their next start.

If that was it then you have to downgrade WOW as well. The Belmont could be a good betting race.

Just an opinion, but I thought WoW looked lame walking off the track.  I don\'t think we\'ll see him for a bit.

Needed Signalman to run today. Was given a perfect ride on the best part of the track. Menacing move until McPeek training took over.Horse was dead fit........to run 6 furlongs today.

Good Luck,

Yep, downgrading him too-I hope he goes off the favorite because I\'ll be all in on Tacitus.

Like I said above...I\'m not sure War of Will runs in the Belmont after the way he looked coming off the track tonight.  Casse was queasy about running him on two weeks rest.

We\'ll see.

Casse said just now \"right now I\'d say there\'s an extremely good shot we\'ll be there\" regarding the Belmont for Preakness winner War of Will
