Jimbo, I'm not in the habit of going into my views regarding races outside of the Triple Series or the occasional race that I believe needs to be revisited. This years Belmont stakes for example. When the time arrives for renewing efforts I'll discuss how the earlier race applies. Not so much to project a winner, but to point out how the earlier effort was misapprehended. In that analysis though if one pays attention you'll probably discern where my wagers went.

I could pull previous posts regarding my disdain for Commentator, but suffice it to say I've always considered him vastly over rated and a juicy target. I always take shots at him at even money or less in the better company. I changed my mind, heres some posts don't miss the ones I noted.
