My heart was with Mystik Dan, but I was happy to see 88-year-old D. Wayne Lukas chalk up another win (note that the twits at CNN misspelled his name).

kind of glad Mystic Dan didnt win...for some stupid reason, the Belmont is at Saratoga this year, the distance is shorter, omly a Mile and Quarter instead of Mile and a Half. Would have been an asterik race had Dan won the Triple Crown...

If I would’ve bet, my horse came 3rd. I would’ve lost $80. ($100 to win, $100 to place, $200 to show).

I actually hit the trifecta. Too bad I only wagered $1.

Had Seize the Grey in the family pool. If we were actually all together I would have taken $80. I’ll never see it. But I do get bragging rights for a couple of weeks for whatever that’s worth...

Regular Belmont track is undergoing a complete tear down & rebuild. Pimlico will soon be doing major renovations, so the Preakness will be run at Laurel Park next year, then back to Pimlico the following year.

That jockey is a young man. This was his debut for a Triple Crown race. Beginner’s luck?

Yeah, at least my bet netted me about $182.00. Just wish I’d had the guts to put down even 10 bucks.

Aqueduct is running Belmont’s meet right now...they had the Belmont before. Saratoga claims they cant configure to a Mile and Half...they why move it there?. Aqueduct can go a mile half..makes zero sense. Anyway, dont matter now..thats why im glad Mystic Dan lost.

Puerto Rico has an outstanding Jockey School there and are just pumping out world class riders. Irad Ortiz..Jose Ortiz..Maunuel Franco..Christian Torrez...and now this kid too.

I guess they didn’t have it kill another horse like they did last year at the Preakness so people could get their kicks

It sounds like he was very appreciative of the opportunity to go to school there. I’m happy for him!

I am so out of it. I heard the tragedy of Aqueduct closing, but had no idea the Belmont STAKES is at Toga.
I don’t pay much attention anymore, since the Riots and the tracks and jockeys took bows for BLM.
