Belmont 142 is in the books… I have a few observations, and overall my grade was a B . If you get that without a Triple Crown hopeful, that is good shooting…. First, why change the song? Sinatra would roll over in his grave… Jay-Z, who is a genius, has his song performed by Jasmine Villegas. […]

OK… The time has come, and I am not going to waver. Good or bad, you can come back and gander at this blog… Either way, it is not for lack of doing homework and being prepared. I watch New York daily, I read all about track changes and listen to what on-track handicappers have to […]

No matter what happens in New York, I still love the circuit. I have heard all is well, and then you hear that they may roll up the game for a while. They have a bailout loan, and you know Saratoga has to run. Or, do they? Anyway, I still love the action…. Belmont Park […]
