Belmont Notebook

I went over early today to meet with some partners. I get a call from Fb who is in transit from JFK hotel and he says that he has heard from FG connections that IHA is going to sct. I told him I have heard nothing, and at that exact time --word spreads like wildfire that he kicked his stall and tendon got hot. I went over to racing office and poor Margurite Vealzques looks like she is going to vomit on her desk. You could have heard a fucking pin drop!

Amazing that FB had his info from New Orleans before it was known even known at Belmont backside. Later, FB talked at length with Paul Reddem and got the skinney about the Vet report. NOT GOOD!!!

Johnny Kimmel told me about IHA not looking good in last few gallop outs and everyone on Belmont backside knew something was amiss. Nevertheless, this really sucks!

The game at Yankee Stadium was as good as it gets. Club seats in the Delta 360 Skybox as the Yanks hammered poor old no-hitter Santana.

We hit some pretty good ones today--especially the Allen Jerkins horse who really came to life when coming back from Florida. Escaped the inquiry and paid like hell. I'd like to think I helped when I told Maylan Studart what to fucking say when she got on the phone with the Stewards!!! I know Mrs. Hardwick(owner) certainly thought so!

Drunk beyond belief and lost my voice( appreciated by FB and the gang)so I'll 10-4 tonight.

Hopefully we will post with some good backside info for tomorrow.Bueno Noches!

    Tough Ass Card is right!

    In the 8th--Just A Game Stakes

    Going with my heart in this one. The famed Darby Dan Farm is way overdue for a big score. #4 Winter Memories looks like a good place to begin, and can't wait to see what they will do with Shackleford and all those stamina brood mares. I'm pulling for the Phillips' in a big way, and I mean big way!
    In the 9th--Woody Stephens, you have to think someone will give Trinnieberg a run for it late, why not the two Assman horses? Ex Bx 1-6-8

    10th--#1 at a huge price

    11th--Belmont Stakes
    need someone to go with UR and Dullahan--why not #1 Street Life? Reason? Best looking women and fun too that will be saddling a horse in here. No owners will have more fun than this group!

    Time to go!
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
