I think IHA will like the distance in the Belmont… if he comes out the Preakness okay. He showed real grit in that last quarter yesterday, and got a perfect ride from his jockey. It will be interesting to see who the field is for the Belmont. 🙂

As many difficulties as I have with the racing industry, it’s the place for Thoroughbreds (in addition to breeding sheds everywhere). That’s why I support it, in my own little way. I hope I’ll Have Another makes history…because it’s good for the breed that I love.

I know nothing of racing other than that I touched Seattle Slew once at Spenfrith (I believe) farm in Lexington one time. Never touched anything that expensive afterwards. Kentucky has a great appeal and this racing on the beach looks very nice as well.
