Pletcher ice cold? Why is sunriver 6-1?

He\'s being bet like he has cancer. Does the entire world know Pletcher is \'drugs off\' except me?

No white mercedes today?

What a strange opening Tote Board it was. Didn\'t see any edge among the listed horses and didn\'t want to play Jazil at what was a then 5-1. Trying to remember the last Belmont I passed. Don\'t think there was one.

Congrats to Jazil and his trainer

Bluegrass Cat ran a nice even race again

Sunriver tried

Steppenwolfer was probably a bit of a disappointment

None of these inspired. Think Michael D. said it first. \"These horses don\'t inspire\". Came to that conclusion trying to place a bet and realized there just wasn\'t any bet to place.

When this crop rises hereafter it won\'t be any from this race.

Yuck

Maybe because NY is not a \"Better Living Through Chemistry\" racing locale.

yep. i didn\'t like it. should have passed, but i didn\'t.

jazil ran well. jara rode well (very well for an 18 yr old). i didn\'t think he could prolong his run long enough to win this. live and learn.

the pletcher horses ran as i expected.

bob and john had nothing late. i didn\'t think he could get back to his wood #, but i was hoping for a one paced \'2\' or so. he simply didn\'t get the distance.

i\'ll likely bet against all of these horses in the summer stakes races.

i think bernardini is much better. SNS is probably better as well.

Anyone know why bob n john was the favorite? Did he look good on the sheets or something?

Dont know why B&J was favorite, but a Raggie told me that Len Friedman picked him in his analysis.

It always amazes me that connections take as much money as the horses.I wonder what B & J would have been if he was trained by John Campo Jr.
