BELMONT Stakes Day

Can't wait to see this juicy Card...Best Racing Day of year sans Breeders Cup...Let's find some winners..

Traveled to Crusherfest over the weekend in S Milwaukee, Saw lots of old wrestlers and visited the statue of the legend himself.

Tried to pay Greg the Hammer Valentine $20 to put me in a headlock. Times are tough for these guys right now as Im sure he would have much obliged.

Very Nice guy.

Awesome VET..we're all the AWA vets there? 

Greg Gagne, Mad  Dog Vaxhon, I'm sure he's dead. Did you take pictures? I'll  PM you to get those... What great childhood memories...

The Awesome Midwest circuit..they used to wrestle down at the Auditorium Arena where the Nuggets started in ABA in Mid 70s.  Bowled on a team called The High Flyers when I lived in Texas. I was Crusher, had a Maddog, Jumping Jim Brunzell, Dr X, and if course, Greg Gagne. What great memories.  Thank You. 

348 only non Tapits

The BELMONT itself looks like a fantastic race. Will the REAL  Forte show up?? Can Tapit Trice get up for the win. Archangel looks like an up comer.Probably a key player underneath. Will National Treasure control the pace? 

Much more to come. Personally,  I nailed last years BELMONT.  Let's study for a repeat. Pick up stats for entire card in morning. Yeah.

My handicapping pix coming up. I hope all that Canadian Smoke isn't hovering over Elmont New York 

I read IRAD had  very successful Friday.

He IS the world's BEST jockey so beware betting against his strong handling on ALL HIS mounts 

Picks still coming.  I lean  on Horses that have previous experience at Belmont. It's  called  Big Sandy for a Reason????? Can Closers Make up all those lengths??? Or should I stick with frontrunners.?? 

I'll NEVER forget Stewart Elliott going after frontrunner when he lost to was ir,Touch Gold..never forget. What a mistake  going too early..anyone recall??

Elliott on Smarty Joned 

Ended 3rd..hit big tri..Still Great memory..almost as good as hitting Outside horse Creative...??? In 2016 ????

Let's nail this race and others Saturday 

First. Second Race going off at 11:54 edt..

I like #5 U Should  Be Dancing closing on frontrunners 1,3,3,4 and at least getting SHOW piece at 8-1 odds... Rudy R trains with Jose Ortiz riding..TURf horse that loves Belmont..Big Time Closer..don't see him winning but Love him Underneath 

#3 True North

IRAD on #4 Elite Power..great workouts..

Maybe we should pull for Longshots in exotics??

Maybe #1 Today's Flavor  can hang w Irad..we'll see..Like Anarchist over 2nd Favorite  Strobe

...don't like that #5..Good3 Luck 

Race #4 7f Allowance  really like #7 ,Life Changer...but HOW can anyone bet Against #9..the 12th MAN alone..can close with Javier Castellano aboard and MICHELLE Nevin training ..I'm a suckered..... for chick trainers but I know she's good...#3 Romantic Gamble can close as I like #5 All ABOUT THE money too..play #6 and #8 ,underneath no matter what as they might be ITM. ??

Race #5..POKER..1 mile TURF race..watch for those EUROPEAN entries..they're quick foot pn this shorter American Turf races..just saying

. Of course, I like #4 Dreams of TOMORROW..really  TODAY lol..Franco rides this Longshot who kicks  ass on Belmont TURF races..especially going 1 mile..

Race #5..POKER..1 mile TURF race..watch for those EUROPEAN entries..they're quick foot pn this shorter American Turf races..just saying

. Of course, I like #4 Dreams of TOMORROW..really  TODAY lol..Franco rides this Longshot who kicks  ass on Belmont TURF races..especially going 1 mile..

Truth is #7 and #8 are going to break for Lead but I see that Hot Pace will set up Anaconda (#5) and #6 come charging up the lane for the upset..so, 4,5,6,over ,4,5,6,7,8....I  really feel 7 and 8 hurt each other setting up for a Closer 

IRAD on lightly raced #4 Bright Future.#2Red Run xsn Definitely Close and #5 NEST is solid,,loves distance. 

Personally,  Love #7 WARRANT..Brad COX with Prat on board...I love connections. Watch out for 8,9, and even 10 to get up for the pieces 

.

That was Race #6..Brooklyn 

#7 Ogden Phipps Distaff.

Win and you're Qualified BC Distaff..

Very EVEN race for 2 4. And 5..Absolutely Love #6 closing on top runners if they GO way too fast. 

PACE makes the RACE..Awesome Race 

#8 woody Stephens..7f for 3yo..

Another good race. 13 entries..Good Luck..7f..

Take your pick..will be perusing other opines on this very even race. ..lots of young ones and you know how these turn out. I wish the Best.Irad is on #12, gotta lean #8 Fort Bragg and #3, #4, and #7..

If you can cash any wager here..I'll be impressed. 

#9 Turf Sorint..6f Win and You're In for BC Turf Sprint...16 entries..I'll be reading what the masses leans are for this one

#10 Met Mile Win and you're in BC Mile

.#1 Cody's Wish.. Can any Horsee spring the UPSET?? Maybe #7 but doubt it. They're running for smaller pieces..2 3,5 67 8,8,9..pick right numbers And we'll all go to the Windiw

#11 I can  Never hit these Big Turf Races..

Watch out for Euro Invaders..they all have that "quick of foot" coming down the stretch 

Personally,  I lean toward #3 ,,the most. 

Can't go wrong with 6,7,8 or #4. Good Luck with this race.

BELMONT handicapping race coming after some serious perusal. 

But, How can you go AGAINST Forte???

If NATIONAL Treasure gets loose on Lead with easy fractions. Wtf..That compromise all the Closers..somebody needs to press him.

Would LOVEto  see an outstanding CLOSING finishes from all Closers . I Love Tapit Trice I don't think he can beat Forte. And Angel of Empire  with Prat.

Last butnot least,  Peter Pan winners do well getting that extra half Mike. So watch out for Arcangelo underneath 

BROTHAS,  these are my opines.  Please form your own.  Just my 2 cents and then some. I hope everyone has a  Wonderful and Successful Belmont Stakes Day.

 out. THE CRUSHER 

Thanks Crusher. Good luck in all endeavors.
