$100 #1 Place
Thats how I'm leaningComment -
Bet it to place instead... it will pay better then win and show, and BB will win, unless he has a colossal breakdown in which case he wouldn't show, either.
I'm leaning 1 w/ 3 4 5 7 10 w/ 3 4 5 7 10 trifecta
EDIT: Am I imagining things or did you say show before?Comment -

Hoof Injury May Scratch Casino Drive
By John Scheinman
Special to The Washington Post
Saturday, June 7, 2008
ELMONT, N.Y., -- Casino Drive, the Japanese import considered the primary rival to Big Brown in the Belmont Stakes, might not run after suffering what was described as a possible "stone bruise" in his left rear hoof.

If Casino doesn't go...
WIN: Big Brown
PLACE: Tale of Etaki
SHOW: Denis of CorkComment -
$1 Trifecta = $20 bet;
1 w/ 3 4 5 7 10 w/ 3 4 5 7 10
Could just go 4 5 7 on top if you want to save a few bucks, as it will be one of them I think, but might as well go for it and hope to hit a longer show.
10 cent super = $15.60 bet;
1 w/ 4 5 7 w/ 3 4 5 7 10 w/ ALL ($9.60)
1 w/ 3 4 5 7 10 w/ 3 4 5 7 10 w/ 3 4 5 7 10 ($6.00)
That, my friends, is the $35 play for the Belmont.Comment -
Denis of Cork shocks the world at a decent price!
Now I like Big Brown mind you, and he is the best horse in the race, but I just don't think he is worthy of being a Triple Crown winner while beating possibly the worst crop of three-year-olds in the history of civilization.Comment -
denis of cork is my sleeper.Comment -
LT; I didn't think that Anaheim Ducks fans were worthy of a Stanley Cup championship in their 13th season when most of their fans were all bandwagon or traitor Kings fans while loyal Kings fans have gone 40+ years without ever winning a cup...
Yet they did.
I bet most Philadelphia fans and Cubs fans would agree with me that there is no justice in sports.
You are right, BB is a great horse but absolutely not stuff of legend or worthy of being a Triple Crown winner.
That does not change the fact that he will win the Belmont, and handily.Comment -
I am hoping the gambling gods intervene.

If they do, it'll tear my exotics to shreds

ELMONT, NEW YORK (TICKER) —Casino Drive has been scratched from Saturday’s Belmont Stakes due to a bruised left hind hoof, according to the Schenectady Gazette.
Considered the main threat to foil Big Brown’s bid at winning the Triple Crown in the final leg, Casino Drive seemed to be healthy during Saturday morning’s workout. But according to the report, the horse appeared to be favoring the hoof after returning to the stables.Comment -
I'm re-capping now. The .05% chance that big Brown got challenged and worn down early just got erased.Comment -
I saw these at 5Dimes:
Belmont Stakes
Big Brown vs:
Field + 4.49 lengths -155
Field +250
5/2 on the field would be my play.Comment -
never thought CD would even hit the board and my tri is 1/2,4/2,4,7,9,10 $8Comment -
Do you actually see anything in the 2 bby or just have him in there for the payout?
My new bets...
$1 Tris ($40)
1 w/ 3 4 7 10 w/ 3 4 7 10
1 w/ 3 4 7 w/ 3 4 6 7 9 10
1 w/ 3 4 7 w/ 3 4 7
1 w/ 7 w/ ALL
10 cent supers ($12)
1 w/ 3 4 7 10 w/ 3 4 7 10 w/ ALL
1 w/ 7 w/ 3 4 10 w/ ALL
1 w/ 3 4 10 w/ 7 w/ ALL
1 w/ 7 w/ 3 4 10 w/ 3 4 10Comment -
boxed exactas
(big brown/denis of cork)
(big brown/readys echo)
tri on the 3 horses..
with Casino Drive now scratched, expect Big Brown to now win the belmont, with a strong challenge and possible upset by denis of cork..... Longshot (readys echo) has a very good shot at one of the top 3 spots today..
good luck..Comment -

another tri
4/1,2/all
2/4,9/1,4,7,9,10 for the of it
never liked Casino Drive and didn't even think of him as a threat.DOC I think is the biggest threat from the Derby started last and made up ground to be 3rd should be ready today.Comment -
you have to look at Tale of Ekati because Tagg is on fire now.Comment -
Plus I LOVED Ekati's race at the Wood... have a really good feeling about the 7.
If it comes 1 / 7 / (3 or 4), I'd hit the Tri 4 times and the Super 3 times.
Soo... thats kind of what I'm rooting for!Comment -
His Beyer figures say otherwise.Originally posted by LT Profits
He will destroy them today by 10+ lengthsComment -
also think BB has the x-factorComment -
Tri-Box: 1,7,10
Exacta: 1,7
For the hell of it, #7 to WinComment -
Hey, you win the 3 races, you win the triple crown. That he is running against some of the slowest animals ever allowed onto the track will be forgotten by history.Comment -
That's exactly my point, If he wins, he'll be mentioned in the same breath as Secretariat, Affirmed and other true champiions of the past, and that's just wrong.Originally posted by Wheell
As for his impressive Beyers, again those lose their validity when you consider the competition. It is easier to run to inflated figures vs. soft competition.Comment -

I dont think it would be wrong when he won from the 20th hole in the Derby and the 12th hole from the Florida Derby.If he wins the Belmont then we can see a Curlin BB matchup but of courst it looks like it will be on the carpet.Comment -
LT, it's not wrong. Big Brown has done nothing but run hard and run fast. Nobody stepped up to challenge him in the Preakness. The pansies who, in recent years, skip the preakness and wait to run the Belmont (Birdstone, etc.) don't have a chance against him today (esp. with CD out). I agree with you that unless BB wins in double-digit lengths he won't go down as a Secretariat or Affirmed, but he's still should be remembered as a TC champ and the first one in 30 years. Horse racing's due.Originally posted by LT ProfitsComment -
At the moment I'm thinking... ex 1 / 3,4,6,7,10Comment -
I agree that he has faced softer competition than other TC hopefuls, however he is lightly raced, he has lots of time to prove how good/bad he can really be.Originally posted by LT Profits
The competition has nothing to do with beyer speed figures.
"a Beyer number which reflects the time of the race and the inherent speed of the track over which it was run. On the Beyer scale, the top stakes horses in the United States and Canada earn numbers in the 100's, while extremely strong performances may rate as high as the 120's."
