I used to like Pletcher. But today he's in the same boat as any other big-name trainer.
He trains three and four different horses for different owners in the same race. And he does this every day, not just in the big races. As an owner, how can you trust his loyalty when he often has three other horses running against you?
I'll be there with my father, my son, my brother, and my nephew. We're rooting for history. We'll just bet the rest of the card. Agree. Dont like the idea of these trainers having multible interests in a race. Enjoy every minute. I would take my Dad and we were there for the close calls, he's gone now but I always remember what a great time we had. The card will be big payouts, huge pools, so get those exotics... doubles / Exactas & Trips will payout nicely tomorrow. Enjoy and good luck.

you just might see history. but at 3/5 ? What's the difference, Binnie? I'm taking my 85-year-old sick father to see the race and I'm rooting for history. What's the fucking difference what it pays?  Exactly. I'll be doing the same thing. Hit me up in the am. Have run tomorrow.
When Interpol?

yes, but he's not as great as secretariat, affirmed, or seattle slew. the colt had a weak field, only 8 horses nobody to run with. Boy, when you're wrong about something. you always look to find fault. Here comes Pletcher's horse now  . Note the "smiley," I'm just breaking balls  . The Belmont Stakes always has a short field because the trainers are afraid of the stretch. You mentioned the eight horse field as one of your excuses. Secretariat ran the Belmont against four other horses. Now I'm not comparing this horse to Secretariat. That would be ridiculous. But for Christ's sake, give a little credit where it's due. Do you have any idea what the stud fees are going to be for this horse? They'll break every record in the book. As an aside, I've never been to a louder sporting event in my life. And I was at the Giants-Skins NFC Championship game in '86, and game seven of Mets-Red Sox, also in '86. It was insane.

I think hes headed for throngs neck.

I think hes headed for throngs neck. All kidding aside, Belmont is only fifteen minutes from the Throggs Neck Bridge with no traffic. I'm there at least twice a week during the Summer (the Saratoga meet notwithstanding). 1) Saratoga 2) Belmont 3) Gulfstream Those are my three favorite tracks to bet live and in person. My NYRA Rewards Internet account allows me to bet anywhere. Track prices. Best thing to hit the Internet since Amazon Prime  .

PB you should come see a Bama game with 102,000+ during the Iron Bowl. I've heard it so loud you could scream into the ear of the person next to you and they wouldn't be able to hear you. But from the sounds of it yesterday it did sound like that place was rocking. I could give a shit about horse racing but I was watching just to say I seen it happen. Most of the time, people hate the winners like that but it was cool to see everyone rooting for AP to win. I would have loved to have been there for sure.

American Pharoah outclassed the field. It really wasn't much of a field (kind of like watching Joe Louis fight the bum of the month). AP wasn't pushed and he let up (almost a little TOO much) but it's plain to see that he is quite an impressive horse. Fifty years from now, the name "American Pharoah" will be mentioned in the same breath with "Secretariat," "Affirmed," "Seattle Slew," "Citation," and a maybe a dozen other horses. Just as long as he, and the others are mentioned AFTER Secretariat.
