master of hounds/ like i said in my other post he went through a lot of traffic in the derby to finish 5th. this distance fits him and the rest from derby should be good.

He's the co-favorite with Animal Kingdom in the Friday Saturday Stakes double paying $34.00. He'll most likely get hammered at the windows tomorrow. TVG's Frank Lyons has been quoted as saying "This is the biggest bet of the year so far for me" Thanks for participating. G.L.

# 9 = Animal Kingdom .... The distance is just right for this horse , bred to run all day !
I do like #1 master of hounds and I expect him to run a good race , again the distance won't be a problem , I expect #6 nehro to be in the hunt and should get a piece of the tri and super !
Exacta box the 1-9 .... Exacta = 9 / 1-6 and Tri and super looks like this ...9 / 1-6-8 / 2-3-4-5-6-8-9-10-12 / 2-3-4-5-6-8-9-10-12
I really don't think the #12 will get anything , the distance is too much for Shackleford , but you never know , anything can happen .
Good Luck to all !

Logical! First to post the favorite which could result in an easy two pointer. G.L.

LOL ! I've ate enough chalk in my lifetime to kill a horse .
Strange , don't you think !
My doctor said I had some chalk to show up in my last x-ray .
Trapped somewhere in my intestinal track .
The doc said it would be nice if I were to pass it .
I replied that I consume lots of chalk on a daily bases.
The doc replied that to much chalk will kill me .
THE Z BAR .... I didn't think about the 2 points
If I win , what should I do with all of those points .
Should I buy gold or Silver .
Good luck to you ...thezbar !

BBROBOZO ! I have one word advice should you cash.

I'll eat some chalk and steak too, if Animal Kingdom wins. Software picks Prime Cut on top, might be a good saver or underneath play. I think AK will be up closer today, and hope he can still have some kick left.

Pick: Animal Kingdom

[thezbar]

You're #2 on the favorite, Dogman. I want to finally give away 10 points in this game. G.L.

[BuckeyeT]

#6-Nehro is my pick.

He is bred for the long distance and he didnt run in the preakness and should be well rested for this race. I dont think AK will get there and Shackleford has no shot and will run out of gas in the stretch, 3 races in 5 weeks takes alot out of these animals and thats why Nehro will win the Belmont.

[zebra58]

got the #4, fresh horse should be closer to pace today

[mikemca]

I got Mucho Macho Man,did like Brilliant Speed for the last 3 weeks but he seems to have come down with everyonesfavoritelongshotitis while MMM is getting dissed and overlooked.
Reasons
Will be an overlay IMO looking at the doubles
Huge change to Dominguez
Throwing out the Preakness because Maragh gave him about the worst ride you could.
Because he did so little running in the preakness think he will be sharper than Shack/AK
Good work in between
When I hear other trainers and owners raving about how he looks.I take notice.
Was running at the end of both classics despite poor rides

[foryourhandicap]

Animal Kingdom, should handle the distance and seems the one to beat.

[Junkyard Dog]

Animal Kingdom

showed me alot in his last race & dont see the others beating him here

[aggieshawn]

# 6 Nehro Why because he is the the fastest horse silly.

[thezbar]

Off track has me thinking about Shackleford as a trip player in here

[ATP123]

#6 Nehro has been my horse since the Arkansas Derby when he unleashed that huge late rally just missing to Archarcharch who would have taken a ton of money here had he not been ruined in the derby. The Derby showed how versatile he is that he was able to hang for 2nd being near the front, would prefer him to be laying off the pace here, bred to get the distance, Nakatani has got to want to make amends from pulling the trigger too early in the derby, the 5 week layoff compared to the primary threat is definitly a plus.

[thezbar]

Consensus so far
Animal Kingdom 4
Nehro 3
Master of Hounds 1
Mucho Macho Man 1

[TonyP]

Mucho Macho Man think he will like the added distance, jock switch , and everyting mike said

Pluses out weight the minuses I'm using Shackleford. The pluses = price, track bias and the fact he isn't as washed out today. The minus -jock's unfamiliar with track and distance breeding.
