Casino Drive Out
Casino Drive is an early scratch from this afternoon's Belmont Stakes due to a bruised left hind hoof:
The injury, initially reported on Friday, is considered minor.
10:15 a.m. oddity: TwinSpires accurately shows Casino Drive as scratched and won't process a bet on the horse, but NYRA's online wagering service currently shows Casino Drive at 5-1 and did let me bet $2 to win on #5. Wow, that seems like an oversight and a problem. I guess I'll look for a refund sometime this afternoon, when NYRA online finally catches up with NYRA scratches ...

Wow, could things get ANY easier for Big Brown? If he loses today, then shame on him. Not only is this crop incredibly weak, but then Tomcito gets thrown out with a mystery reaction and Casino Drive is scratched with a tiny stone bruise? Bleh. Maybe they can get some Hooters girls to run in the race.

Well, I'm happy they're doing the right thing for the colt but what a supreme bring down!
