Belmont Stakes 2011


Im only doing this because facebook apparently has a character limit like twitter.

For the kentucky derby i posted the following. "love soldat out of the 17 gate tonight. if the track stays wet though derby kitten in the 9 gate at 29/1 will be your sleeper. happy kentucky derby"

Well it turned out Soldat didn't get the jump i was hoping for an with 19 other ponies running, he never recovered. It also never rained like i was hoping so derby kitty and his over sized body couldn't take advantage. They finished 12th and 14th respectively.

Then came the preakness... "for the preakness. i love shackleford out of the 5 gate. (13/1) Box up an exacta with midnight interlude out of the 7 (15/1) and you will be happy. enjoy the rapture"


Despite us not dying, i did the opposite and lived. and won a shitload of money. Would have been so much more if this race was half the distance. Midnight interlude is still a great horse, just built like a broad on her period. Something happened and this horse just quit. Maybe it was the dirt who knows. Anyways, here comes the Belmont predictions. The race is this saturday and i believe its race 11. confirm before you wager.


i love nehro out of the 6 at 4 to 1. kid is born to run long distances and sat out the preakness for extra rest. i also love animal kingdom out of the 9 and thats saying alot since i NEVER take favorites. with only 12 horses animal kingdom can adapt to any pace set by another horse since he refuses to jump out early. coming out on the side will also allow him to slowly work his way to the rail leaving the others behind. Take the 6/9 and box up your exacta. it will pay 10/1 or so. if your feeling froggy, i like brilliant speed at 15/1 out of the 5 gate. shows late speed and with this small field, won't get trapped. Even if this horse does get trapped this is the longest race in the triple crown so there is plenty of time to recover. Your trifecta should read 6-9-5 and pay about 40/1... enjoy everyone.

remember... you lose 100% of the bets you don't make
