Pedigree Query

I also miss very much the postings on this forum. TJ is invaluable, but we all need to put some effort in keeping the forums active and interesting. Thanks.

The MedagliaD'oro half brother to Beholder didn't make past a bid of $60k. Havre D'grace yearling only made $500k. How can that be?

WE have a Triple Crown winner!!!!!

Justify, Hofburg, Free Drop Billy and Bravazo are my favorites for the Belmont. I'd love to see a dead heat Justify/Hofburg. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Here is a video of today's gallop at Belmont Park by Justify. Looks great in my opinion.

Justify drew post position one. I've seen a couple of comments that it is a bad draw, referencing Big Brown, but I don't think it will affect Justify at all. I surely hope he leads gate to wire in a champion's race.

Thank you TJ for the timely information. Here are a couple of articles about the post positions and morning line: https://www.horseracingnation.com/news/Belmont_2018_Post_positions_and_morning_line_odds_123# https://www.paulickreport.com/news/triple-crown/justify-will-make-triple-crown-bid-from-the-...

And here is an article on Hofburg, regarding his latest work for the Belmont: https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/227863/hofburg-has-final-work-ahead-of-belmont-stakes and from the Paulick Report: https://www.paulickreport.com/news/triple-crown/mott-hofburg-has-moved-forward-since-troub...

I watched those races on TVG, very interesting and competitive. The Pennine Ridge was a real thrill.

I am not absolutely positive, but in the 2016 Belmont won by Creator, there were 13 runners, I believe. No TC in play, however.

I saw yesterday Seahenge mentioned as a possible in the Horse Racing Nation website.

I wish and hope that Justify wins the Belmont Stakes. He looks great, so far. If not, my choice would be Hofburg. He is being training really well at Saratoga.

Trainer Tom Amoss said today that Lone Sailor will run next in the Ohio Derby, not the Belmont Stakes.

Thank you TJ for all you do on these boards. I always look forward to reading your postings.
Also today it's being reported that Noble Indy may be entered to run in the Belmont Stakes:

Restoring Hope is now being reported as probable for the Belmont Stakes.
