Bird Was The Word At The Belmont
Last Saturday’s Belmont was another enjoyable race to watch even though I was less than impressed by the ABC’s coverage. I prefer the coverage that NBC offers but that is a whole other set of issues.
In terms of the HTB picks they were pretty much spot on! If you swap the order of the “Birds” (Mine That Bird and Summer Bird) we would have been sitting on the trifecta! I guess we should have boxed those picks but hey what can you do? Summer Bird had a great finish and showed some of the promise and talent many knew he had. Mine That Bird had a good race as well but the Belmont is a long and difficult race. Calvin Borel and the owner have nothing to be ashamed of!
I was very impressed by Dunkirk. He hit the board and finished strong even though he was in the lead or just off the lead for most of the race. The Belmont marks the end of the racing season for the spring/summer for the casual fan but in the coming days I will have a list and preview of horse races I will be looking forward to in the coming months!
