I'm leaning towards River Thames over Journalism in the exacta. But I will box it.
Just an FYI, Baltimore has a Thames Street except they (I say they because I am not sure I have ever said it aloud) pronounce it Thaymes (h included). So there is a chance when they announce the horse the crown will yell "correcting" the announcer and spooking the horse and ruining his chances. Just giving you a heads up.

I will be glad when the race is over, hard to travel the area this week with horses and horse waste everywhere. I was behind a horse at a Starbucks drive through yesterday, ridiculous.

Are you sure it wasn't Sarah Jessica Parker?
Does Sarah have piebald hindquarters? If so, maybe it was her. I couldn't see her face.

Hold on - let me walk over to my coworker's (Brenda) laptop and google "Does Sarah Jessica Parker have piebald hindquarters?" and see what it says. And leave it onscreen.

Unclear. WebCrawler AI suggested she would probably have more of a palomino colored hindquarters. Before I could research further Brenda returned with her Cup Noodles.

Bettors beware - they are keeping it quiet but the word is one of the horses sipped harbor water and is no longer with us. They found a lookalike from a nearby cider mill and will run him, so if one of the horses is really slow and looks confused, that's why. If I find out which one, I'll let you know.

River Thames it is.

I'll play a 2/6 exacta box. 2,6/2,6/ALL trifecta. 6/ALL Exacta. I'll use a few more trifecta exotics using the 2/6 in different positions.

Wager early, wager often and wager wisely!

What a terrible event and blight on this great sport. Clever Again was on its way to a huge win when outside interference and elbows opened the door for the misbehaving Journalism. A travesty¡ I saw it, you saw it, we all saw it! This can't be allowed to happen at Belmont later this summer. That's why I call on the horseracing community, and I'll be calling my congressman, to have the Belmont Stakes be an old fashioned lumberjack rules race! That's right, the first of its kind since 1974! Make it happen NYRA!

Journalism finishes the story and beats the deadline just under the wire...

Based on the fact that the Triple Crown winners this year have been concepts that are foreign to Donald Trump (Sovereignty and Journalism), I'm predicting Competency to win the Belmont!

lol - I didn't see Competency on the entry list, but it's still early. I did see a horse named Heart of Honor though.

Ask yourself what horse Pete Rose would have bet on and let that steer you in the correct direction.

Part of me wish they'd go back tot he old triple crown racing rules. Where the horses would race from Louisville to Baltimore to Elmont.

They should make a western Cannonball Run.

No real Belmont preview this year. My friend and tipster Jones Falls is AWOL until things cool down after he was caught in Courtyard by Mariott with Bob Baffert's wife.

However.... and this is too big of a coincidence not to matter so I'll post it.

Rodriguez is the pick. Reason - last night I used Mom's credit card to chat with a webcam girl. Her name? Daniela "Bombe" Rodriguez! There was a bit of a language barrier but she had great legs and both placed and well, showed. Too big of coincidence for me! My money is on her...well the horse Rodriguez, not her.

Side note, I think she thought I sounded like Robert Deniro. As we chatted she kept saying mas Deniro over and over. I can take a compliment so I just kept saying Si! It was cute and little bell would ring
