I think Mine that Bird would have won had the rest of the field not boxed him in at the start. He was closing FAST.

Yeah, that was a great race and I hope that they have a rematch in NY.

I was gonna bet Musket Man like i did in the Derby but at the last minute bet a 2 buck exacta box with him and Mine that Bird. I did put 50 bucks on Mine that Bird to place which netted me 250.

I had Rachel on top of 5 exactas to win.....also bet her to win.

Net plus $210

Agree with MACS if Mine that Bird could have broken through he might have won...but that is racing, as Borel took him to the rail in Kentucky and got a lucky opening and won going away, he could have been trapped there as well.

I bet Musket Man, (thank you jackconrad),across the board and also had him with rachel in the exacta.

Mind that Bird took the money right outta my pocket.

But it WAS a fun race to watch.

Would Mine that Bird have won if he had been ridden by the jockey that rode him in the derby, thus allowing for a shot at the triple crown?

Do you think the jockey made a good decision?

I'm a believer in the Bird.

With that closing speed, he's got to be the pick on the longer Belmont.

You guys missed the big story. There were more porta- johns than there were people- 35,000 fewer attendees this year.

All because management prohibited folks from bringing their own hooch. Smart move. Bad enough the economy is in the toilet...

They stayed away due to all the homsexuals. The winner gets a bunch of brown-eyed Susans? Noooo thanks.
