What's getting rained off of the turf? The BC Turf Mile? 😳🤔 Don't think so. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
The 10 days out forecast has a 20% probability of being right. I would need 10-1 or better to bet on rain. Models will have a better handle on that by Sunday. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
You'll get 3-1 in the Classic to find out,assuming he makes the gate. IMO, not worth the trouble of finding out. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Ol' Winters Tale had his ailments. Obviously he was not the same WT that buried the Marlboro Cup field the year before. Doubt Fio Rito could warm him up when he was right. Ah, the good ol' days. Mack Miller. Now that was a horse trainer. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Saw Bill Mott yesterday and asked him about putting the blinkers on Hofburg. Basically said we need to get this horse to focus on what he's supposed to do. Didn't think much of the race. Will have zero interest in any of them going into Churchill including the winner. Monomoy Girl game as hell but I'm thinking the long year may be catching up to her.

Parx not the best track to wager serious money, however should be a fun day. The "juices" will be flowing. The "coming out of the Travers" angle has had some success in the past. Going to use King Zachary who is well drawn, gets a few pounds, and hopefully has a new top in him today. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Perhaps Mott hoping for a big jump on dirt after this. Horse has been flat. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Just think of the opportunities that lie ahead when Saturday's winners run back. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Tough race. As many as 7 of them have a legitimate shot. Good Magic drawn wide, takes a while to relax with a long run to the turn in front of him. Not a plus at a track where the 1 1/4 demands patience and the ability to relax early. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Slim pickings this weekend IMO as we get closer to Saratoga. Not sure who would bother with this one at 9:45 EDT on a Saturday night but the Dallas Stewart colt looks to be an interesting read. At the weights, drawn inside, coming out of a troubled trip in the Woody Stephens, and stretching back out, he may be sitting on a good one.

Finley coming out with more details and info in tomorrow's TDN. No bets were cancelled on Mendy. One bettor,with 30 seconds left, put $60,000 to win on FF. Guy must have misread FF's sheet. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Apparently $105k wagered in last 18 seconds before the pools closed. How? Who? Where? Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
He was 3/5 on the board when they were loading. Based on that. How many have you seen go from 3/5 to 3/2 in NY in 1 minute? Look forward to your response. Setting the over/under at zero. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Double whammy-this happens and it involves a juice trainer. Exacta with the Romans horse (16-1 minutes before post) comes back $25 for a buck with a 3-5 shot out of it. Great stuff. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
In addition to the left turn made at the start of the Derby. Another Pletcher 3yo who ran out of his skin in March. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
The 2016 Sword Dancer and Flintshire is another one that comes to mind. Apparently the Bafferts and Browns of this game feel that they are the game. The hell with everyone else. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
I would not bet against Tenfold ever winning a grade 1. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
If the brilliant NBC commentators said it was perfectly legit, then it must have been ok. 😂 Btw: what's not being mentioned in many circles is the stunt Geroux plays at the quarter pole. Good Luck, Joe Bby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Never bet on a jock in the race before he's going for the TC. My guess is that Manitoulin gets the best TG number out of the Manhattan yesterday with wide Mikey making sure he stayed safe while 4-5 wide on both turns. Great job by TG on the sheets with him. Despite the tough beat, there's nothing better than getting 30-1 on a horse with TG numbers like that and a guy like Jimmy Tby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
Interesting that no one has posted their thoughts on what Geroux (aka Fuzzy Thurston leading the Lombardi sweep) was doing out there with Restoring Hope. Particularly interested in thoughts about his antics at the quarter pole when he intentionally changed lanes to cut off Tenfold who IMO was making a " finishing second" move while allowing Gronkowski to get through on the rail.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts

It's a wild wild world when Hofburg is about half the morning line of the Wood winner and the Preakness runner up --and one third of the Peter Pan winner. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts

The Clement horse is interesting with a number as good as anyone in here outside of the 3-5 favorite. Lone speed if Hawkish decides for the Penn National race. A 1 1/8th on the inner at Belmont where uncontested speed tends to stick around. I'll let Catholic Boy beat me in the exacta carrying 123.

From "Parade of Tearless Eyes" by Matt Burke. The world of horse racing is merely a microcosm of life as we know it. It is a world filled with lost souls in search of riches and privileged souls in search of themselves. It is a world dependent upon controversy and debate, yet one that abounds with poignant competition and delightful solidarity. Horse racing drives human emotions to uby jbelfior - Ask the Experts
IMO, Noble Indy lacks the conditioning to go 1 1/2 at this point. Off 6 weeks before the Derby, the colt basically got zilch out of the race. Of course there will be the inevitable comparisons to Palice Malice should NI end up entering. Toss. Good Luck, Joe B.by jbelfior - Ask the Experts
