Got home in time to see race 6 what a joke that was

 

[Cowboysfan8]

All the multi race wagers gone. Terrible

 

[Judge Smails]

yeah - it really sucks to have those races off

 

[Judge Smails]

Starting to shift my thoughts on top to Sovereignty. Going back and forth between him and Baeza. All these horses want to lay closer and make earlier moves - Sovereignty makes the last move a winning one?

 

[Judge Smails]

Wow super impressive run by Raging Torrent

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Atta baby Frankie !!

 

[General Malaise]

Sovereignty to win - $25
EB 2 3,6
TB 2,3,6

I am shorting Journalism.

hit $5 exacta Patch to Madekat Road. Not bad for a stab

 

[Judge Smails]

Baeza drifted up so far odds to me. Stuck with my original play. $200 win and $100 exacta boxes to Sovereignty and Journalism. Already played at the OTB down the street. Will play a few savers those 3 boxed to Rodriguez just in case he gets a lonely loose lead. A few tri's but that's it. Sovereignty is the one I'm afraid of.

Props to the broadcast for giving the needed info about Norm the horse's name there.

I have 200 on Baeza at 53-1, future book. If he gets in he'll go off less than 10-1.

Every morning I hope for a defection from a vet making their rounds. One year there were 5. I'm down to two mornings of hope left.

That horse should absolutely be in this field. Not good for horse racing. Shame on those clowns and their idiotic point system.

Getting out my horse voodoo doll to see if I can help you out. Where are all the Derby-week defections when we need them?

Going back to ma boy.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Streaming in the Fox sports app and it cut out at the 1/2 mile pole lmao

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Had the 2 keyed in the triple left journalism off. Oh well

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I thought I read somewhere the race was being moved to tomorrow apparently I misread and missed the race

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Sovereignty Looked like he was ready to kick *** in the paddock . Just checking the crowd out with his head and ears all perked up

Well deserved champion

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Came back on they’re interviewing Junior and it goes to commercial. Nice job Fox

 

[Judge Smails]

Sovereignty just best. Props to him and the connections. Baffled by Baeza's race. I guess they didn't like the way he was acting in the post parade but I already made my bet at the OTB. Thought he would get first jump. Breaks iffy and just shocked to see both Journalism and Sovereignty in front of him while Prat is choking him. Oh well.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

2 turf races were moved to tomorrow

 

[General Malaise]

What an amazing race! All time classic between two incredible horses.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Good for Mott and Junior

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Sovereignty Looked like he was ready to kick *** in the paddock . Just checking the crowd out with his head and ears all perked up

Well deserved champion

Also Bravo Bill Mott

 

[QuizGuy66]

Chalk city - no surprise there. Entertaining race for watching but not betting.

Thanks as always for the insight

[General Malaise]

Blistering time!

 

[Cowboysfan8]

.10 super $4 lol

 

[Brew Swillis]

Boxed the top 4 in trifecta and superfecta at $1 each. Won $6.40.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Blistering time!

Especially considering the track was muddy an hour or so ago

Lmao

 

[Brew Swillis]

I sat out the Preakness as I was traveling. Hit the exacta and trifecta on the Derby and the trifecta and super on the Belmont. Won a total of 81 dollars.

On another note, very sad to see Christophe Clement passed away. Great trainer, especially with turf horses. Always prominent in NY and Fl. Only 59. Melanoma. That hits close to home as I battled it this year myself. RIP Mr. Clement.

Christophe’s son Miguel has been working with his dad for years. He took over the string.
Just got his first graded stakes win with the Deterministic in the grade 1 Manhattan at Saratoga
