Only horse I feel confident throwing out on pedigree is Make Music For Me. I like First Dude to win it. Love his post. He can sit or go to the front.

What's Borel doing on a horse like Dave in Dixie??

I actually don't mind make Music For Me

[zinn21]

I actually don't mind make Music For Me

I don't mind him either, just don't think his pedigree will get him a mile and a half.

[Georgerz]

I like Ice Box, Interactif and Make Music for Me, in no special order. Also throw in Fly Down.

[Shergar]

I'm really liking Drosselmeyer to step up today.

Thinking a Trifecta with Drosselmeyer keyed on top w/ Ice Box,First Dude, Spangled Star and Make Music For Me on the bottom of the ticket.

Then an Ice Box over Drosselmeyer, First Dude, Spangled Star and Make Music For Me.

Those horses were just staggering to the finish line. One had to come in first, but that was it. Horses with no stamina running a 1 1/2 mile race, what a joke.

[Shergar]

Just glad that mine, (Drosselmeyer) staggered home first.

Shergar, I should have listened to you. I tossed Dross out and put Ice Box in after I told myself the last 3 weeks that Ice Box couldn't get the distance. I hear Jerry Baily say Ice Box trained the best of all the Belmont contestants and I instantly threw him in. Boxed IB, First Dude, Game On Dude, Fly Down and Uptowncharlybrown in a trifecta. Never fails...

[Shergar]

Thanks Zinn. However, I am not going to break my arm patting myself on the back. The horses I had on the bottom were nowhere to be seen. I ended up going Exacta wheels instead of Tri's, so it didn't cost me as much moola.

The only thing I did right was wager $5 Win, $10 Place, $15 show on Dosselmeyer. That certainly made up for the exacta losses.

Regards,
Shergar

PS: We should have combined our picks. We would be farting through silk!! If and buts were candies and nuts we would all have a Merry Christmas!

[vallygirl927]

I had Dross for the win too. Turned an $8 bet into a $113 dollar win!

Nice job Valley...
