The Preakness is Tommorrow

Mrs Snidely had I'll Have Another WPS.

She's looking forward to the Belmont.

You're three weeks early Ellen. That's a Belmont Stakes tradition.


Actually, she's a couple weeks too late. That's a Kentucky Derby tradition.

The mint julep (along with the big floppy hats) have both been Kentucky Derby traditions.

I boxed I'll Have Another with Bodemister and Went the Day Well. Only a 18.90 payout but it's better than nothing. Also bet Daddy Nose Best for show.

For the Belmont, I think we're going to see the first TC winner in a long time. This jockey really knows how to rate this horse, and I can see I'll Have Another being no more than 4th as they head down the stretch. Remember, Belmont has a LOOOONG stretch run so I'll have another will have plenty of room to make up ground. And he WILL!

Every time I think of the Belmont, all I can think of is Secretariats magnificent run wire to wire in record time and record lengths a winner. If you have Starz, they keep showing Secretariat over and over, and I just can't help watching it over and over! There will never be another horse like "Big Red"!
There have been other horses that won the first two legs and looked even more promising than this one, only to lose in the very long stretch at the Belmont. It would be nice to have a TC winner. It has been too long since the last one.
