Belmont Stakes Betting - Casino Drive? Wager at Your Own Risk!

[Shame About Ray]

I picked Casino Drive to win the Belmont Stakes. That’s true. If Casino Drive races, I will bet on him. I have to. I just have to believe that if his Japanese connections race Casino Drive, then he will be ready to run.

But I’m nervous, man. Word just came down, about an hour or so ago, that Casino Drive might have a “stone bruise” that is causing him to be off on his “left hind”. That’s a serious issue. First, the Japanese will not fool with this horse. In other words if Casino Drive is not ready to run, then they won’t force him to run…I think.

Second, an injured Casino Drive will be up against more then just Big Brown in this race. He will be up against some of the toughest conditions in the history of any horse going into the 2008 Belmont Stakes. This race is 1 ½ miles. Even though I have full faith and confidence in his connections, and full faith and confidence in the horse, I have to be objective here.
