I'll Have another please...

[KLin]

Preakness win.

 

[BUTCH1]

And a good chance for the triple crown, the third is a longer race and damm, that horse can close, love it!...

 

[BrokenVisage]

Awesome race, nice to have a possible trip crown winning situation, but wow running down probably the best current three year old twice like that is impressive.

That was just downright awesome.

I guess some horses do better on the juice than others...

 

[DrPizza]

Wow, nice race.

holy christ.. what a reserve tank that horse has.
twice Bodimister was FAR ahead, and "i'll have another' chased him down and surpassed to win.
especially in this race.. 100yards left and turbo boosters activated

Wow! I don't follow horseracing much, but didn't "I'll have another" basically come out of nowhere at the Derby? He wasn't one of the favorites, right?

This keeps happening and they keep failing at the third leg of the crown. Maybe we will finally see a Trip winner in our lifetime.

Good thing I didn't put money on Bodimeister.

Maybe I will for the Belmont. He's due for a win.

He will run out of gas at 1 1/2 miles me thinks. Union Rags and Dullahan who are also closers will be there as well.

Bodimeister learned his lesson from the kentucky derby of shooting his wad early and slowed down his pace by 2sec in the Preakness.
but still wasnt good enuf.

We've had a few others over the last 10 yrs that won the first 2 then failed at the Belmont, got out in front but got picked by closers and wind up losing. (War emblem,'02, Funny Cide,'03, Smarty Jones, '04)What's exciting about this is "I'll have another" is the definitive description of a closer and hopefully will fare well at Belmont. His biggest challenge IMO is that he will up against good competition that is well rested..

For another great race, here is the last contender (Smarty Jones) running the Belmont, enjoy!..http://www.belmontstakes.com/multimedia/history/2009/4/26/2004-belmont-stakes/

Grr... Don't remind me of that one. I went to the Belmont to see that one, and had money on the race

 

[Sinsear]

Baffert oughta have Bodemeister skip the Belmont and aim at the Haskell

 

[spidey07]

Awesome race. I'd like to see the finishing fractions but could be triple crown winner. Apparently the horse sleeps a lot which could have him ready in 3 weeks.

Bode wouldn't have been a problem with the long Belmont race anyway, it's Union Rags who will make things interesting since he didn't race in the Preakness and is rested.

I don't watch horse racing at all, but I admit I was on the edge of my seat near the end of that video :thumbsup:

i wonder why?

The lenghth of the Belmont is a mile and a half. Bodemeister is a speed horse. He took his shots, and came up short. There are other big races with million dollar purses the horse would be better suited for such as The Haskell or the Travers. And the rest will do him good.

Do a youtube for the Arkansas Derby and Bodemeister if you want to see the best race he ran this year. The derby and preakness were good, but the Arkansas Derby was insane.

Insane is an understatement on that performance.

But you're spot on, belmont is not his race.
