  • Floridaf · I do have a lot of love for Shackleford, Mary Z., but it's hard not to fall in love with him once you meet him. He is a horse that demands both your attention and your admiration. I think you make a very good point about how those of us that have never witnessed a TC are the ones clamoring for one the most. It would be almost another 10 years after Affirmed's TC before I was born, so all I have seen have been the near misses. Icy, you do not have to agree with me all the time. You are not the only one that thinks I may be reaching a bit when I say Shack could be a good mentor for IHA. It's simply my opinion. Bode will be dangerous at a mile, and IHA stands a really good chance of winning the TC, with or without spending some time with Shack. · 1 day ago ·

It is not easy being a jockey in New York, even for one of the stars of the rider colony like John Velazquez. The competition is fierce and so is the criticism sometimes.Read More

  • notobsessed · Not to knock Johhnny V, but Shackleford justs runs as fast as he can from gate to wire, usually in the lead, does it really matter which jockey is on him? · 2 days ago ·

  • Mary Z. · THAS, CP,JB. Sentimentally, I'd love for JB to dig in and win. Caixa could have his best day ever. Hope this fulfills the promise of a great race. · 2 days ago ·

  • Capper · I totally agree Matt. I think THAS is starting to hit his best stride & Mott is the most dangerous trainer in the game when pointing for a specific spot. CP could win, but his BC Mile win was a result of a perfect pace setup, as well as the track playing to outside closers. · 2 days ago ·

  • MIke in SB · I think he should go in the Preakness, he is peaking now and has a great shot to win a Classic race. The Met Mile will be very tough, maybe tougher than the Preakness, with Caleb's Posse, To Honor and Serve and maybe Shackleford. The 3 year old year is unique in horse racing and all horses have only one chance to win a Triple Crown race. Bodemeisters best chance is in the Preakness. · 21 days ago ·
