63% of all the $2 tickets purchased on Secretariat to WIN the Belmont were never cashed..

I don't doubt it. If I had one of those tickets, I'd have it framed with the famous photo of Ron Turcotte looking back on his 31 length lead (wonder what he's thinking).

That picture is so moving, I have often seen it in various business meeting rooms to encourage employees to "Go like Secretariat". He was a Horse for the Ages.

Lots of talk on Rock Hard Ten as well. I must have done something wrong with the html, as Rock Hard Ten's profile won't appear when clicked.

A couple of articles:

Will Smarty still be partying after Preakness?

Rock Hard Ten will spoil the party

I agree with your call, except for third. I like Imperialism or Rock Hard Ten there.

[Miss Marple]

I am going with Imperialism, who came from behind at the Derby, because he got bumped coming out of the starting gate. Otherwise, I think he could have won.

And I STILL want to hear "Imperilism wins." Hehehe.

[deadhead]

I'll wager on:
1st. Smarty Jones.
2nd. Lion Heart.
3rd. Borrego.

So funny, as you posted, I received an IM from my cousin with his picks, same as yours....

[Types_with_Fist]

I think it's important to note that Smarty is running to the RIGHT of the other contenders...:-)

Thanks! Dangit! I forgot to ask: Is anybody at Pimlico today? We got some great photos from the Derby. If anyone is out there today, please post some photos!
