Here is your field for the Belmont stakes to be run on Saturday. Orb has drawn a good post (#5) and will be the favorite. Oxbow at the seven hole is also in a good position. Truthfully, post positions matters less in a a mile and a half race since there is so much time to move around including the endless stretch at Belmont.

Who do I like? I actually like Vyjack for no reason other than I do and also have a soft spot for Unlimited Budget since it would be great to see Rosie win a leg of the Triple Crown.

I truly do think it is going to be a horse that all of us have overlooked, but that is just my opinion.

Let's hope for a safe trip for all--the forecast is for rain.

Doggy Vending Machine

No Animals Were Harmed

No animals were harmed has become something we take for granted but it is very good to know the American Humane Association will never become complacent.

Thank you.

Glowing Sheep

This gives new meaning to the phrase, "Have you seen my sheep?" These guys from Uruguay were injected with the substance that makes jellyfish glow in the dark. Otherwise, they are just your average sheep.

Dogs and Technology

This is a fascinating concept--redesigning household items from the dog's point of view so they can provide better assistance to humans and doing it all from a dog's point of view. Makes perfect sense but I don't think they are going to convince Apple to make the i-phone not seem inviting as a chew toy! (That goes for the remote control too!)
