in the forecast for all day friday but the prognosticators claim it'll be out of here by Saturday morning. Whatever the case, the Belmont card looks fantastic with some really nice fields and all the stakes races came up with quantity as well as quality with the exception of the True North which has only 6 going to post among them are Benny the Bull & Fabulous Strike.

P.S. not liking the turn that Mr. Fantasy's career has taken. He's been pointed for two spots and been scratched from both,(The Preakness & The Woody Stephens). Starting to remind me of another talented state bred who got injured and never made it back to the track, Bustin' Stones. Hope I'm wrong but the similarities are a bit eeire. Anyway, Kieran says he's going to try and get him to the Mike Lee, we'll see.

gebbgebb is my friend for years and she is on the backstretch for a living.

This wonderful girl presents good stuff here and sometimes even makes a Board Meeting when her work schedule permits.

gebbgebb has excellent information when posted here.

A long time ago she told me to get off the bus stop on Hempstead Turnpike outside of Belmont (when Aqueduct was running), that my girlfriend had gone back to Mexico. I was thankful, I needed a shave and a shower after standing there for five weeks.

On a serious note, gebbgebb presents good stuff and if you met her you'd hug her.
