John Brown predicts the field, from first to 12th.

Doesn't a boxed trifecta cost 6 times the normal betting price?

3!=3*2*1=6.

So that trifecta bet should cost $12 not $6...or do i have it all wrong?

YSU: why does a cross country flight worry you for Yankee Bravo? I just like to learn more about horse racing, thanks.

Matt, you are right. It was a miss print. I meant a $1 boxed Tri-fecta. When you only box a $1 tri you take half the winnings of the posted tri. I wrote that at 2:30 in the morning after going to the Cavs game last night, so I missed that on the proof.

A cross country flight effects the best of athletes in baseball and basketball. Is a horse different??

IDK, but I would think it has the same effects. I guess it's me just trying to be different than the "experts". I can repeat what they say all I want, but if I try to make different predictions and have my own way of looking at things then maybe it will be unique.

I guess it's me just looking at it as a sports fan of baseball and basketball. You always hear about the west coast and east coast road trips.

ESPN shut up about Peta and the protest. No one cares. They are taking away from the races.

I'm on my way to Thistledown to wager and bet on the Preakness. Thanks for making this week such a great week. And thank you for all the kind wrods about my blog!

Nice betting John, you only lost $2 by my count, but its just unfortunate your other horses didn't come through.

Big Brown's toughest task is the Belmont...long 1.5 miles.

YSU, you think BB has the stamina to win it?

Big Brown WON! I think its going to be the next triple crown winner

There's only one horse that can beat him at the Belmont and that's Casino Drive. We got 3 weeks to figure out who's gonna win.

Matt, he did not run all out in the Preakness. That's huge because he has a lot left in him for the Belmont. I think he does have the stamina but Casino Drive has the pedigree. It will be interesting.

Kentucky Bear, my X factor got pinned. I think he could have ran a better race.

This should be fun to watch. I usually couldn't give 2 s***s about horse racing, but I will watch the Belmont.
