Look for SS to run in the Haskell. If he freaks over that track like CD, he\'ll win the Classic. That\'s what Carl is thinking.

Camps of Street Sense and Curlin will surely point for the Travers, winner there locks up 3YO HOY.  The former preps in the Haskell, the latter in the Jim Dandy.  Borel stays but, hopefully, Asmussen gets a NY based jock for Curlin....G. Gomez please!

Should be a fun summer of racing!

What was wrong with Albarado\'s ride? No way he loses this one. He didn\'t lose Mineshaft and there\'s no way he loses this one either

Albardo is a three or four wide trip waiting to happen.  Didn\'t matter in the Preakness because you could take that kind of trip.  What happens at Saratoga though in a field of 9 or 10?   The guy is scared to death to make a move inside of another horse.  Had Prado, Gomez or Castellano been on Curlin in the Derby that race is run completely different, and the TC may still be up for grabs.  As it stands Albarado couldn\'t even beat Julien Leparoux (on 60-1 Sedgefield) for position.

Mineshaft was the best of a bad bunch of older horses back in his day.  Chuckles the Clown could have goten a leg up and won on his back.

Albarado keeps the mount and 3-4 wide at Belmont is the place to be.

I\'m not light, but I\'m fearless. You know what a \"Smart Bomb\" is? I\'m a \"Smart Clown\". I\'m guided to the rail as if by a laser to save ground in keeping with the tradition of TGraph. My Motto is\"Always save ground and if you\'ve never been parked over the rail, you\'re a coward\" I\'d have beaten Mineshaft with Perfect Drift. I\'d have taken him inside, the short way home.

Folks may think it was Bo_Rail that rode the Derby Winner. They may insist that Benardini was piloted by Castellano. That Jeremy Rose rode Afleet Alex. I\'m here to tell you I rode those horses. I willed them to victory. Its about communication, telepathy between man and beast. It was me. The horses ran for me. Yeah, thats the ticket
