$5 ex wheel 5/all
 
Santa Anita Race 8

#1 Bella Baby

very respectable in her maiden effort last out ... attended all the way 'round, got hung out 3 wide, but re-rallied with a decent close - may relish the extra half panel here - also gets first time blinks, and Hernandez on board.

ETA: she's getting hammered at the winderrr ☹️ now down to 3/2 ... eff that.

gonna key 1 w 4,5

The old heads around here generally stick to that.

Not really. Tons of deleted posts in an ugly thread about an ugly week with 7 dead horses. Everyone please be a ton more cool in the future.

Ugly thread about an ugly week. Ummm OK. The fatalities are extremely unfortunate and the ONLY ugly thing whatsoever in the thread. It’s a GREAT thread. Cordial, collaborative, fun. Except for one troll disliked immensely by the FBG universe. The exact opposite of cool. Fix that.

Yes this!

Maybe the mod would be able to explain this “ugly thread ugly week” stuff

Explain your position. And show evidence.

Who are you talking to when you say "Fix that", exactly? (Obviously, the mods)

You made personal attacks, calling me a Douche Bag (which was deleted by the mods and would be a suspicion normally). But now you are telling them to "Fix that"? Fix what??? What does that mean, exactly?

I'm just curious. You violated the "terms of policy", not me, and now, in a roundabout way, have the gall to tell those same mods that deleted your violation, to "Fix that", which means, in no uncertain terms, get rid of this guy, because I don't like him.

This is rich, to say the least. I mean for real, who do you think you are?

And again, I'll debate my positions before and after, and would love to counter yours. That's if you can keep it to horse racing, not personal attacks or name-calling (weak, infantile, without an actual ability to defend your position).

coupla good Stakes running today here at beautiful Belmont Park - the week after the Derby is always Man O'War/Peter Pan day - these will be races 5 & 6, respectively, going off earlier than the usual Stakes fare - post times at 3:05/3:40.

Man O'War

#2 Warren Point are your prohib 9/5 ml fave, and easy to see why - what with ol' Charlie Appleby shipping, and Franko in the irons ... exemplary speed figs for this lot, and 3rd off the bench for '23.

#4 Verstappen is a horse on a big improve, winning his last out at Keeneland just 3 weeks ago ... that field included 4 other runners who will try again today (Red Knight, Channel Maker, Value Engineering, Howe Street - who were 2/1 fave) - horse has been very tough since Cannon jumped on, and this is my choice to spring the mild upset - came very late into Charmin pace ... very impressive.

got a huge soft spot for #3 Channel Maker, but looks like the celebrated 9 yr old has finally hit the wall - hasn't been better than 4th over his last handful of starts ... but if there are any juice left to squeeze, it'll be wrung out by Joel/Mott - CM has a very respectable record over this course.

#1 Red Knight are also a 9 yr old, but 17 less career starts than CM, and was barely nosed out by Verstappen at Keeneland - both of them closed into glacial upfront fractions set by board friend Walking Boot's Tiz the Bomb & CM (24.9/49.2/1:14/1:40) - when you can rally up amongst that kinda muck, ya got juice left.

#4 Verstappen for W , and tri keybox 4 w1,2,3,
 
Peter Pan

... are there two more diametrically opposed race names than MAN O'WAR and peter pan?

jus' sayin'

:oldunsure:

long seen as a key stepping stone to Belmont Stakes success, the race hasn't produced one of that ilk since '14, when Tonalist took the last jewel of the TC.

this year's edition features an uninspiring lot, can't see any of these being a factor 4 weeks from now, especially considering the anticipated returns of AoE, TT, Forte, 2P's - and Mage, of course.

but, we gots a Stakes to bet, one with what i consider a tepid ml favorite, so ...

#9 Bishop's Bay is that fave, ml of 9/5 for Flo/Cox ... this will only be third career start, and had both previous down at the Fair Grounds as heavy fave (maiden score were a 6f victory over Preak darling First Mission) ... last out were his first going two turns in a route, and he barely held on through slower fractions than the La. Derby, as a Cox stablemate damn near nosed him at the wire. if the pace are hot today (and it will at least be hotter than his last out), then i think he can be had.

#5 Classic Catch is your best bet to pick 'em all up if it gets hot ... Irad/Pletcher are too damn familiar with this schtick to ignore, and though he had a troubled Wood, i'm gonna look for him to run back to previous score at GulPstream.

speaking of the Wood, today's #2 Slip Mahoney were my choice for that one, but he got left at the gate with an horrendous start ... failed to fire in race prior in the muck, but i have faith in him bouncing back here today ... if he breaks clean, he will be a considerable pace factor. gonna be my key play.

#8 Henry Q bypassed the Preak to slot in today ... 14 length winner of the MTB at Sunland, then weakened under the hot pace of the Sunland Derby in his followup - expect more of the same pace chasing today, could hang for minor spoils underneath - Franko up for O'neil is a combo we need more of.

#2 to win

tri keybox 2 w 5,8,9

#1 Red Knight carbon copy of last one at Keeneland, but he cleared by a couple lengths for the win today - 9 yr old NY bred doing 'em proud today.

#4 had an horrendous ride - dunno wtf happened there, seemed to be checked a bit, then got pinched too far inside - rail were closed, and the fan out were not accessible.

1/6/5/7

ETA: hermanos Ortiz 1st & 2nd
