One Boring Belmont

[TonyT]

With the Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver and the Preakness winner Looking At Lucky skipping the Belmont this year it might be as interesting as watching paint dry.

I am a DIEHARD horse racing fan and bettor but without those two horses or at least one of them running in the Belmont i might as well go to my local track on a Tuesday afternoon to watch the nags run and bet on them, its not a Triple Crown series race when both the winners of the frist 2 legs are not running.

No wonder why horse racing is going down the drain.

TonyT, I totally agree with you. When there is nothing to look forward to, then the Belmont becomes just another horse race.

I'd rather go to my local track and watch them.

yep

Got to agree. Terrible Belmont

It's like Boxing, Going down the tubes fast

But if Mayweather and Pacquiao duke it out in November at Cowboys stadium then boxing will have a little bit of life left to it.

As far as the Horses go i will bet them and go to live races till i die but to have neither of the winners of the first 2 legs of the triple crown in the Belmont tells me these trainers and owners only care about $$ and not the sport they devoted there lives to.

Bet the farm on Ice Box in the Belmont, i had him in the Derby at 10-1 and he finished 2nd closing like a bat out of hell and the Belmont is a 1/4 mile longer then the derby so he should win for fun.

fight

I hope this boxing match happens! Should be a hell of a battle!

I like Icebox also. He ran very well. Compared to all these other horses he should win. But in horseracing you never really know.
