Belmont Stakes - - - Pick-a-Winner/Place-a-Bet

Ditched Nehro pretty much except for exotics..

Win ONLY # 9

W & P #10

Big EXACTA 9-10 smaller 10-9

Exacta boxes small 4-10 4-9 3-10 3-9

TRIFECTA BOX 4-9-10 3-9-10 1-9-10

SUPERFECTA 9 With 3-4-6-10 9 With 1-3-4-10 10 With 3-4-6-9 10 W 1-3-4-9

I want this track to get a bit stickier in the next hour or else Shackleford just might be a factor and that would AGAIN kill me!!!!

Good luck to all!!!

Wow! What a result! My original tickets made like confetti & hit the floor. However, all was not lost! Prior to the race the conversation among our group turned to the Stanley Cup finals - since we're in the Vancouver area it's inevitable right now. The track I was at had an impromptu draw for a team jersey, and my name was called! As I walked up to claim it, the parade to post was up on the big screen and who should be making their way past the camera at that moment but Ruler on Ice. Against any logical reasoning, I took it as an omen - Stanley Cup talk, winning Canucks jersey, Ruler On Ice... and snagged a last minute $5 win ticket on #3 on the way back to our table! Needless to say, everyone, including me, laughed at my stupid bet - Especially since I am not even a Canucks fan! WTF was I thinking? So I guess plain old dumbass luck was on my side today since my nephew now has a Luongo jersey, and I got to claim a win ticket on a horse I never for a moment considered to be a contender! Go figure! Hope this holds up for the Breeders Cup weekend when I will be in Vegas, firmly settled into a seat at Lagasse's Stadium @ the Palazzo to enjoy the fun!
Thats a great result...love when things like that happen!!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

Sadly, I had the #3 everywhere, EXCEPT the WIN!!!! hahahaha

PS- I love Vancouver but am especially fond of the island..such a beautiful place!!!
Poor old DonDiego has reviewed his handicapping, . . . and concluded it was error-free. Those folks just ran the race improperly.
I handicapped the race a few hours before on Sat. Looking for value and mudders, came up with Ruler on Ice ($2 w and s) and Stay Thirsty ($2 w/s). Both had raced and at least placed in the much before, and both had jockeys that raced this meet at Belmont. Had a straight exacta with Animal Kingdom on top with #2, 3, & 7, but did not have a box (an almost $500 mistake). But was very happy with my long shot bets, which totalled $76 ($54 profit after some other not so great bets)
