It's easy, and only takes a few moments.After seeing Exaggerator run out of gas during the stretch, I was hoping that Lani, the only other horse to have run all 3 races, would catch up to Destin & Creator; but just as were the cases during the first 2 races, he was too far behind to make an impact.
And how stupid was the jockey of Governor Malibu to allow himself to be stuck behind front-runner Gettysburg, who slowed to a crawl as soon as his job to provide a decent pace for his stablemate Creator was accomplished? He might have won himself had he followed Destin past Gettysburg instead of trying
to squeeze between Gettysburg and the rail.
I follow but not as closely as you but surprised that Suddenbreakingnews has moved to 5-1. Clearly the potential for rain has helped his chances.

I had SBN as my pick at 10-1 in the ML but moved to his old rival Creator when the race went to post, so I was pretty happy about it. Did think SBN was a good pick, though. He was always coming on hard from the clouds in his last two and I thought he'd like the distance, plus switching from Quinonez to Smith would make a big difference. Got sent wide and didn't have the mile and a half in him, though. Glad I went with the horse that outperformed him in every race but the Derby, though, in the end. Brilliant trip by Ortiz to keep Creator along the rail the whole race, though I got worried he'd get trapped inside.
I had a pretty miserable run in the undercards though so the day was a wash.
Nice to play with house money after the first race. I'm sure you know the movie, but if not….."Let It Ride" with Richard Dreyfus is a must for degenerate pony gamblers. One of the few movies I can watch over and over again……"I'm having a good day"The Belmont Undercard is one of the best cards all year, I was on fire early, caught the exacta in first race, The 2nd race I played a 10 cent super box with 5 horses (only costs 12 dollars, its really a great play if you have some good long shots) anyway i ended up with the 1-2-3 horses and the 5th horse. Got busted out with the 4th place finsiher, I had the trifecta in the 3rd race. And I had win bets on Shaman Ghost and cavorting. I was on fire early but after that i was ice cold unfortunately
