I have known lots of them, they have a harder time holding money than pool players.
6:39 is actual post time, I believe. I think he'll do it. I wish they had OTB, at least, in South Carolina
Somebody might have this site confused with AZ Stakehorse, AZ Equine, AZ Harness, AZ Trotters, or AZ Steeplechase.
I got into handicapping for a little while. I went to my first ever live race a couple years ago in NY. I watched Rachel Alexandra cap off her undefeated season at the Woodward Memorial (maybe?). She lead from wire to wire...the final stretch though was unbelievably exciting!
Its pretty fun. If you bet smart and learn to read the past performances, you can do ok.

I'm taking the biggest underdog, "Donkeyonwheels" and hoping he doesn't dump
. I think I'm getting 50:1 on the dough. 
3 minutes to go!
i'm pretty sure that horse trotting sideways, isn't going to run straight.
we've had a huge debate in the past 20mins. i can't imagine, how bittersweet it would be, if i were the OTHER jockey, who stopped history....
FYI, CA Chrome's colors (purple & green), are the colors of Royalty, as well they are jewel tones. the stars are aligned!

Dead money
He didn't get the best trip either...but it looked like for that horse, he should have put him in the front the whole way.

That owner after the race was an a$$hole. He undid the whole Cinderella story that had been going on for the last few weeks in just one interview.
valid point - Cinderella Story. i hadn't thought of it that way.
AND
i'm going to play devil's advocate. can you imagine how this country would have celebrated, if he HAD won? talk about PR & marketing & $$,$$$,$$$....
(now apply it to pool, to keep it related :wink
I'm no race expert, but I was wtf'g while Victor ran that race and I told Pinky "this ride will be debated ad nauseum".
I agree. Poor form - worst post race interview form I can recall. "Cowards!" And when his wife tried to calm him down, & he turned on her angrily & said "I DON'T CARE!"
OMG. The glass slipper shattered.
KK9 <-- wouldn't want to play that sore loser in pool
Plus he is completely wrong. If you ran it like he suggests with the same field in each race you would have a horse win the three races every other year, it would be meaningless.
The significance of the Triple Crown is your horse has taken on all comers in each race and won. That is why it is important and so rare. Each race is an event in itself, it is not a series.
Of course it is time to watch this one of the greatest sport performances of all time.

OMG I watched his Belmont like 10 times at least today...even posted it as my status to Facebook. For sure the highest gear I've ever seen in any sport ever. Just so humbling!

i get what you're saying about stamina for Triple Crown. (i was a LITTLE irritated yesterday).
but i thought he recanted during his statement, that every horse @ Belmont should have had to race, in at least ONE of Derby/Preakness? (not both).
i don't know the stats of the winner & top 4. did they meet "his qualifiers"? if so, then he's dead in the water -
When his wife pinched him and he was like Get off me woman! I got this! LOL
