The times the race has sizzled were those close defeats of horses seeking the triple crown.<br /><br />By the way, it was a nice top 10, and Teresa has a really nice piece in the gray lady's racing blog section.

Your Top Tens help to highlight the absurdities we all must face and cope with in the world, whatever the domain. Who knows, Alan may become a Tea Party guy yet.<br /><br /> By the way, a great column by Ray Kerrison in today's NY Post reminding us why the Belmont Stakes is the grandest of the Triple Crown races, TC on the line or not. Lucky horses do not win the Belmont as they sometimes do the Derby and Preakness.<br /><br /> About the only thing he overlooked is the outstanding breeding records of Belmont winners over the years, more impressive than that of Derby winners I like to point out. And don't even think about reducing the mile-and-a-half distance, it is still the supreme test in American racing.<br /><br />Joyous e-mails from Tom Federlin at Racing City Realty have been landing in my in box. That means one thing: Post time at the Spa is fast approaching. /S/greenmtnpunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-68455210014562950832010-05-29T08:29:57.027-04:002010-05-29T08:29:57.027-04:00If you're going with the best breeding, it may...If you're going with the best breeding, it may be Spangled Star (Distorted Humor out of a Kris S mare) or Stately Victor (Ghostzapper out G1 winner Collect the Cash, who's out of Dynaformer). And they'll both be at least 12-1.<br /><br />Remember, we've only had one favorite (Afleet Alex) win the Belmont in the last 15 years, so take the fave at your own peril.El Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145024095815950963noreply@blogger.com
