School's in Session

Thursday morning was a busy one underneath that massive 180-year-old white pine in the Belmont Park paddock as a phalanx of contenders for Super Saturday were put through their paces beginning at 11:30 a.m. For the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Quality Road was a complete pro for trainer Todd Pletcher, while Dry Martini let his personality shine as he looked inquisitively about. And finally, Gio Ponti, who's going for his fifth straight Grade 1 in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational, looked regal as ever during his tour of the paddock. Good luck to all!

Hello,

I like your blog. It reminds me a little of Mary Forney's blog in California.

I'm the editor of an online publication, www.casetherace.com. I happened across your blog in my search for NY handicappers and thought I would try contacting you for leads to good independent handicappers. It seems like the kind of thing a Belmont insider might know.

I would be very grateful for any ideas you have. My email address is marlaseattle@gmail.com.
