Did anyone notice that Orb's right hock wasn't right in post parade? ...aside from all these negative remarks on Rosario and Orb, I'm just glad we didn't have another 'Barbaro' mishap

Premptive move in Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap, loss. Premptive move on Orb in Preakness Stakes, loss. I didn't have $ on Orb, but I am not ready to preach Rosiarianity.

Hey, everyone. I had a wonderful time at the track today, watching the Black Eyed Susans card live. I was right near the finish line. The best part of the day was certainly watching my filly, Fiftyshadesofhay, win the Black Eyed Susans by a small margin. I had the 2nd place filly (what's the name?) in my super. Unfortunately, for me, Emollient is the only filly in by four horse Super box not to come in. It was a beautiful day today- nice, sunny and about 80 degrees. I didn't specifically like watching the racing through a glass, but I was right near the finish line. My two sons LOVED getting off of school. Funny story, they refused to wear pink... I finally told them: "Real men wear pink. And girls like guys who wear pink." :). The surface was pretty favorable to stalkers and off the pace types. As for betting standpoint, I finished at minus $21 (I believe that's the correct amount). I handicapped very well. In the final seven races, I had the winner 6 times. The one time was the Turf Sprint, I had Bridgetown, but my second horse Ben's Cat won the race. I handicapped very well, but I executed my bets very poorly. It was a really chalky day- I hope there are some payouts tomorrow. After the races, we went to the hotel and went swimming and stuff. Anyone ever been to the Baltimore Hilton? Very nice. Also watched part of the Rays-Orioles game from the hotel view. I'll stop blabbering about my day :). Fantastic day of racing tomorrow, I can't wait to see Optimizer, Zee Bros, Orb, etc. I won't be on (again) tomorrow. Enjoy the races, everyone. Good luck with any wagers :).

Sinai has been retired due to a lesion in his tendon.

thank god for the on line betting sites that stream live racing.if we depended on pin heads like NBC we would miss everything.are you kidding me.the sprint is going on,and i am watching these mental midgets discuss orb and the preakness.there are 2 hours to go.they could care less about racing.it is the ratings.when the racing heads realize that horse racing is fueled by gamblers and not the clueless who tune in 3 times a year.oh sure,nbc will gladly kick in money to fuel the purses.no folks,that is from the money wagered.no wonder the weather is bad again.it is like the track gods of old are looking down and saying.you incompetants do not desrve good weather to air the trash you put on.you must arn it by taking care of the public.who knows.these idiots might forget to show the preakness.maybe they will run a special on the infield party goers or compare the dresses of the derby as opposed to the preakness.

Sight redemption for this one. I'd like to see him cut back in length - but I think he has a lot left to show.

Im gonna allow the gate to open for a short time any one who wishes to jump on Lukas bandwagon may do so.

Told as many people as possible. I'll Have Another was 10X the horse that orb is. If he didn't win the triple crown, I dont think we'll see one anytime soon. Look for Revolutionary to win the Belmont.

slowest time in the Preakness since the 1950's. Really starting to feel this years group is a bit lackluster.

It's going to rain again..

I think Orb will win the race, I also think that Myluteand Will Take Charge will fight for 2nd and 3rd with Itsmyluckyday rounding out the superfecta......departing will not be in the mix at the end......

If you asked me what his next start should be. Id pick the G3 Matt Winn, G1 Haskell, G1 Travers, Breeders Cup Classic any argument thats not the best route for him?

Takes on boys in her second start in the Rollicking Stakes at Pimlico this Saturday. I think she can out sprint them

That was pretty impressive! Inhand, not asked. Possibly my pick of the generation

doesn't get a whole lot of respect or recognition.

Know more returns to races thursday iin a 6 furlong allowance at hollywood park with stable mate south floyd

i can see the headlines now.since the star power of orb has faded,the media and public will need a new post to hang their hats on.my prediction,it will be dreaming of julia.she will become everyones wise guy horse.even though she has accomplished hardly anything.she will be the headliner.the only thing i want for the belmont is a full competitive field.i am not looking to crown anyone a superstar or put them in the hall of fame.for this one only guys.let us make it about the race and not the individuals we want to star. regardless,the thing i enjoy the most about belmont stakes day is the same thing i enjoy about kentucky derby day.the undercards are incredible.they are the true stars of the day.after all it is racing that excites us.

1. Orb 2. Mylute 3. Will Take Charge 4. Govenor Charlie. The race will play out like the Derby.... a scorching pace battle between Goldencents, Titletown Five, Oxbow, Govenor Charlie. None of these will be able to hold off the closers Orb, Mylute, and WTC. Itsmyluckyday has not demonstrated that he can get the distance. Departing has beaten nothing of consequence and was well beaten by Mylute in the LaDerby... what reason is there to think he will do any better here? The only question mark in my mind is Govenor Charlie..... rapidly improving, training well, should be fresh. But he'll be caught up in the nasty pace duel so I doubt he can win. But I do think he may be the best of the early pacesetters and hang on for the exotics. I'm betting $150 but too many to list all here. A few are $1Super Box 1,5,7,8... $2Ex Box 1 with the field, $1 Tri boxes 1,5 with the field, many $1 Supers with 1 on top.

When will he be retired?
