What the Nation is saying about Mr. Commons...

Sad to see him scratched today... I hope they can find a spot for him to run soon, I am dying for him to finally get that win
Mr. Commons is slated to become John Shirreffs first stakes starter since the trainer brought a string to Belmont Park this spring, with the 5-year-old aiming for the Grade 3, $150,000 Jaipur on Friday, June 7.Read More

I’ve had the pleasure of going to the racetrack for my entire life. I can still remember the crowd’s emotional reaction to an amazing two minutes and twenty four seconds back in ‘73. It was something a wide-eyed young fan standing on a seat in the uppermost section of Belmont’s grandstand could neve...Read More

  • ingrid.prescott · Brian, I agree with you in that the Belmont Stakes anticipation is hard to bare. The uncertainty, the betting, the uncertainty...but the true essence of the unpredictable horse race is watching the pedigree, true elegance, and beautiful thoroughbreds in timeless motion compete to finish first; across the finish line. Wow, I can't wait to experience it first hand. ;o) · 12 days ago ·

  • AnnaK · Wanted WD, with Silentio and Mr Commons duking it out. Forgot how beautiful Mr Commons is, My God, although he's looking abit more sire like with adulthood. My imagination or was Charlie looking concerned with WD's feet after? Looked preoccupied in the picture and interview with Battaglia. (Hope it's just imagination or nothing) · 67 days ago ·

  • likin sparks · I was kidding about Skyring though he did surprise me by not ending up last, Mr. Commons looked good but hasn't won a race in over a year so I think the connections need to try a different tactic most liking involving distance. · 67 days ago ·

"Can he find room?" No, and he didn't run as well as I would have liked after he finally got out.
