The Belmont Stakes...

She did stop by the bookstore and get me some fun ones. I'm currently reading "Badasses of the Old West". Some of those outlaws had serious anger management problems. Most of them were cured by 'rope meditation' (hanging) or gunshot therapy!

The odds will change by post time Saturday...but, here's your choices:

My Wife: 1) Exaggerator 2) Stradivari 3) Destin
Me:
1) Trojan Nation (in honor of my dorm back in school which was nicknamed "The Zoo"
2) Creator (in honor of a Star Trek episode I saw where Nomad the robot thought Kirk was "The Creator")
3) Gettysburg (because all my ancestors in the US at the time fought on the Union side)

You're wife is pretty close to my picks:

Win: Stradivari
Place: Exaggerator
Show: Destin

We shall see if your College days will finally pay off! LOL!

I'm glad the Trojans back in the day worked better than the horse in the Belmont!

Today is the day....get your bets in!

My wife: 1.) Tapwrit 2.) Gormet 3.) Patch
Me: 1.) Twisted Tom 2.) Senior Investment 3.) Epicharis
Alternate: Battleship (Saw his grave at Montpelier in Virginia. Talk about a huge tombstone!)

Well, Battleship was a good pick for me, even if he is dead.
Looks like I owe my wife dinner again. She was clearly right more than I was.

Good job Mrs. Alain! Hey Alain, maybe you'll have better luck the next time if you have Stripes pick for you.
Just place a piece of paper down with each of the horses names on them...then yell, 'BOO!" and see who Strpes picks.

I tried that "Boo!" thing once. Got squirted right in the face!

That's my point...whichever horse's name he squirts, will be his pick.

He would probably do better than me!

Of course I'd like to see a Triple Crown winner with Justify.
But, I keep getting pulled towards Tenfold.

Looks like justify is the winner.

Even when I click to read about the Belmont....I have to see Lebron's stupid face!

I went with Justify and I forgot who for 3 & 2.

Don't worry, DB, every time Lebron goes on the 'net, he gets a team picture of The Golden State Warriors!
