Not to kick the ice house that is Danny Gargan's barn when it's down, but does anybody have a clue what in the f that was in the 1st race? That miserable non effort? Guy might never win another race.

Whelp, it took a photo finish in a QH heat at Horseshoe Indy, but I cashed a late double. Always very grateful for any kind of a win.

What, no Melbourne Cup stuff? C'mon you guys!

Wow, @RealGregWolf Wolfie super bummed about Chalky Chalkerson crushing the lid-lifter at even $$. I didn't love the price, either. Sometimes you just gotta take what the racetrack is giving you. 🤷‍♂️

That was as bad as anything I’ve ever seen. They cut away from it instantly. Did Prat get up?

Should this 7th be declared a no contest? That loose horse had a huge impact on the running of the race. I don't know. I'm asking.

Tough, tough beat with Kehoe Beach. Ouch. Ow. That hurt.

I'm betting one race today, the 9Kee. My girl Tam Tam is in deep but if she beats this field, sky's the limit for her. Check out her run at Churchill on the 1st of May, 12th race. Lost the bob to Imagination the Lady. And how, @DRFHersh did LAD run a better race at Del Mar?

Shocker in the Belmont 4th. An actual Tommy Proctor horse wins in New York, at 28/1 no less, and the Chadly Chalk can't get get to her. Love it.

Mystrix is completely discouraged I'd rest him until spring and bring him back to run 6F. He's never going to win at this distance. And Danny Gargan simply cannot win.

The NYRA Kiss of Death finished me off in the 7th. 😵 Saw they all had him. Should have cancelled. Knew he was not winning.

Who's got a legit angle for the 3rd at Belmont? On the Tapeta. Only V.Vol has been the distance (7F, dirt); he's not a winning type. Zayas (on the 2) has scuffled, but he's used to riding the rug at GP with all those off-the-turfers. Fits the level, couldn't finish the last at 5F

I'm here for horse racing. I ignore kooky politics, tolerate Reds and Bengals gibberish--racing people are Ky., and Cincy would be your teams if you lived there, I get it--but I must draw the line at the Boston Bruins. Lord, I loathe them.Bruins shit=instablock.

Got lost after the 5th. Place emptied out, and looked like Aqueduct, which was comforting.

You guys who are good with the times, were the races faster, slower, or about the same at the New @TheNYRA Belmont Park. Horses appeared to be running tentaively over all surfaces. My imagination?
