That's what they said before D'Tara won it.

You may be right, but people will bet on anything so there is value.

i would want at least 4-1 to play UR. My Adonis at 19-1 is the only playable animal.

wow, you get that hack leparoux off UR and thats what he can do. haha.

Bob's gotta be muttering to himself and maybe looking for a hobo to stab

[PFunkaliscious]

terrible ride. that animal should have won by 2 or 3

[TripleH68]

"What a ride!" What else is new?

[SimonBarSinister]

It will always be my opinion and it was before the Derby, if Velazquez or at least Castellano rode this horse he was your triple crown winner. No disrespect to IHA or Mario but this horse is special. He does not like to be inside horses yet today he still got it done.

On a side note **** Ramon Dominguez!!!

union rags is who he is a 2nd rate horse do you know who was in that field nobody the 2nd faviorte was dullahan cleaned up the peices in the derby. Anybody who follows the horses close follows pedigree. this is a big part in racing. Dullahan is a synthetic type put him at keenland put him at golden gate take him to dubia but not a dirt horse and not a true horse to run 2 times in 5 weeks nowhere close to ill have another and maybe 10x the cost its funny how now people will be all over union rags again ot me unless its a mile race he almost didnt make it against a front runner and a horse the 4 who couldnt move after the front runner also race was good to watch but 2nd tier horses i say union rAgs doesnt come close to a race at breeders cup in november the connections know who 3 year old horse of the year will be they cant compete with that and all they have is money to gain they wont do it any bettors out there want action union raGS dont race for a while anything with 9 horses or more 1 1/16 or more this year i live in so cal 15 minutes from commerce and 15 from santa anita ill be there waiting for breeders cup day and i know i wont see union rags there unless hes in the mile

This is why I am thrilled horse racing is pari-mutual wagering. LOL after he just won a 1 1/2 race. See you at The Travers!!! Being a BIG horse racing guy I'm sure you heard of it.

Hopefully you young guys realize that Secretariat would have won by more than thirty lengths.

Given the times and the way the field looked it would've been more than 40. IHA definitely would've shipped the triple crown if he ran.

lol.

this years time was faster than the last 2 years. obviously the track is a lot different than it was in 1973.

Secretariat also would have crushed Seattle Slew, Affirmed and AP Indy.

Last time I checked, Secretariat is currently six feet under ground. Hard to win a race when you are dead and buried.
