It won’t take much to sell me on them at those odds. Next beer in Vegas is on me if they score.

@mike – glad to hear it, buddy. It’s going to be HUGE.

@Brian – once again I’m in awe. I’m not going to make it. Actually my exhaustion is catching up to me from going to Vegas and back. Haven’t slept real well since for whatever reason. I’ll be communing with Curlin through my Jedi mind trick about 10 minutes to post though. Like Spock with the whales in Star Trek IV. :)

Go Curlin!! I can’t wait to see the “Big Guy” in action again, I’m going to Blemont to see him again, I’m so excited!! Are you going to make it to Belmont this time? What an amazing weekend of racing this is going to be, tons of good ones running. Wouldn’t it be awesome if Fabulous Strike won the Vosburgh and he and Curlin were able to do a repeat for Smart Strike this year in the Vosburgh and JCC, except without English Channel winning the Hirsch!!
Go Curlin!!

Trevor is my favorite announcer also. It will be a fun weekend.

Angliana – never off the board at Belmont or on a wet track, he should be laying close enough to the two gunners up front to avoid too much traffic. I can’t see too many passing him in the stretch, and if the speed stops he should pick them off.

Ravel – I’ve been chasing him since his VERY impressive Sham score 17 months ago, no way I’m getting off of him now at 30/1.
