Don't worry, TampaBayDowns Fan, he'll run a big race in the Belmont. The only horse I fear is a rested Dullahan, but this is IHA's race. He was bred for this, he is distance trained by Doug O'Neil. He is going to have no problem flying down the stretch while others are falling behind. I see him finishing in front by lengths.
Wooo hooo! Bring it ON!!! Out of ALL of the Triple Crown races, THIS one belongs to I'll Have Another. He is BRED for this distance! He won't dissapoint!
He has heart. He has stamina for the Belmont distance, hands down. He is our 12th Triple Crown Winner. Safe travels to this boy in the Belmont. He is a stunning colt, he is trained so classic- I LOVE it. No horse will come close to him in the Belmont, other than Dullahan. IHA will get the job done, and he is so deserving of the Triple Crown title. He is a heck of a horse. Can't believe some people still don't choose to see what is cut, dry, and right in front of them! He is legit. Knew it before he took the Derby, he is classic looking, and not only LOOKS but acts professional and just like a classic on the track. He is also lucky to have such an amazing, young jockey. Mario is really something else. Both these guys deserve the Triple Crown, and I WANT to see it.
And I felt this way before the derby. I've been lucky placing 2 huge win bets on him the past two races, too! Talk about being underestimated... and it continues! Ridiculous. :)
Disagree 100%. Look at the times he's won with earlier this year. Fastest times out of any 3YO racing. He is a fantastic, professional horse with a distance and stamina packed pedigree. The Belmont Stakes will be a BREEZE for this horse. He is BRED for this distance. If you think Bodemeister has even a shot to finish in the money in a race like the Belmont, i'm going to have to laugh in your face! Few can do it. He is the one. He is our 12th Triple Crown Winner.
I wouldn't go thar far, ghelguera.... don't think the West Coast has it this year... or next year! LOL
Forgot about the mud!! Always a HUGE factor. I don't think Hansen likes the mud. He seemed to be very careful in the Holy Bull because of it. I think that's what did him in. He wasn't opening those big lengths we've seen him do in the past.
Congratulations! Love Plesantly Perfect, what a nice clean line! So sick of seeing Mr. Prospector in every pedigree. PP is so refreshing as a stallion! Best of luck to your mare!
Hmm... I'm not playing My Adonis. Don't think he can do it, even though I favor his pedigree over many of the other horses. Call me crazy, but my order tomorrow is Raconteur, Hansen and Done Talking.
Well, I think some people's idea of a good pedigree are a bit different. Some get caught up in hype of certain lines. I do think pedigrees win races... if you look closely enough. :)
