The Morning After

  It's the morning after the final chapter of this years Triple Crown Race. Was I disappointed in the out come? In short No. I did not have a horse in the bunch or was I connected to any of them in any professional way.  I was disappointed that "I'll Have Another" could not make it's bid for the title. Like I am sure millions of other fans were. ie: Remember Big Brown? It's all part of the game. There wouldn't be anything special about the title if it was won every year. It would be sort of like watching the Yankees play ball, calculated for results.
  Well today is another day and the horses will be loaded up at Belmont Barn #2 in the cool of the morning or last evening and hauled to the next track or back to the Owners farm. I know next spring to start watching and following the horse journals and start over. This is the part I like about it, watching these young horses develop and mature.

  In the mean time to get my fix on turning left and going fast, NASCAR action is still getting hot. I don't care for all the personal dramas that are associated with it. I do like the team work involved in winning and the craftsmanship of building the car.

  Today though, I am off to the Gun show. Where I do my best to stimulate the economy.  Then maybe some Wings at Hooters of some BBQ at Willards. Then off to work. Ya'll enjoy!

Belmont-Pocono 400- Hot Weekend Hot Babes.

 144th of the Belmont stakes running later today and the hopes of a new Triple Crown winner shattered. However the remaining 11 entries will enter the gates when the horn plays. A horse and owner will end up a Million dollars richer. Currently I  would have to go with Dullahan to win. However that is just me. Place your Bets, pour yourself a cool beverage and .enjoy.  Dullahan currently 9 to 5  was 5 to 1.




  The Pocono 400 will run this weekend. For the first time can be followed on Twitter. Minus Kurt Busch. Yes this race will survive. Can Kurt Busch?  Is he worth the save? 14 car's suspensions and fines. I am pretty sure my boss would have sent me down the road, walking. Kurt I hope you can turn it around.



Locally the Gun Show is going on several shooting matches. There's also a Hot Rod and Muscle car show. Not that it matters it's a hot weekend and that means there will be plenty to raise your tempature.  Watching the highway at this early time the civilian navy are running to the local lakes and out to the Chesapeake. You know that means plenty to look at. Enjoy your weekend

Belmont Stakes Post Positions and Morning Line


   Strike or no strike the Belmont Stakes will be ran on Saturday. Track officials say the race will go on with or without the organized laborers.  I have highlighted what most experts are calling as the winners. One of the horses gets on my pic's even if I don't like it's name. The other 2 on their merits. I don't find any of them spectacular horses but, they will be the best there on Saturday. Now there are some tempting odds and I might considered a $2 ticket on Ravelo's Boy. There's a lot going on this Saturday. So I may have to record it and watch later in the evening.



The complete 2012 Belmont Stakes post positions and morning line odds follow:
1 - Street Life, 12-1
