I think that karma is a b*tch. 😂

In the Belmont Stakes, this time Sierra Leone was the one getting bumped beginning right from the gate. For anyone who sees it differently, I suggest rewatching the race and see for yourself. Am I a big Sierra fan? Not at all. In this video, I clearly pointed out what took place every step of the race with an unbiased eye. What can't be denied is, SL is 2 noses and 1 1/2 lengths from being undefeated. He's only going to get better and it wouldn't surprise me if he wins both the Travers and the Breeders' Cup Classic with his huge closing kick. Think the male version of Zenyatta. Best, Al

@@allhorseracingallthetime u

He bumped 3 horse in the stretch,watch the race again,force the #8 horse all the way to the rail!

If Chad Brown doesn't get that horse's ass end straightened out he ain't going to do any better than he's done so far he lugged in in the Bluegrass he lugged in in the Preakness and he was off in his right hind leg in the post parade of the Preakness which probably caused him to break bad in the Belmont cuz it looked to me like he broke off that leg and came to the inside where he definitely got bumped and after watching Tyler Gaffileone ride Maximum Securities race on War of Will and then watching him cut off Mongolian Groom in the Breeders Cup Rocky's right hand leg and was put down), who knows he may have done that on purpose because he got took off the mount he needs to be flagged on several instances but nobody seems to be looking....

Exactly! Sierra Leone screwed up all over the place in this race the Belmont. Stumbled at the gate went hard left turning into stretch smashed into Tyler Gaff Leonne‘s horse, the 21 shot that you mentioned that you said you didn’t know who it was. how do you not know who it is, if you’re presenting a video. And then, even with the new bit and Prat, Sierra Leone lugs in hard.

Who is this peckerwood?

@@jjdog7159 Rewatch the race and see for yourself. I point it out every step of the way in this video.

Rewatch the stretch run in the Derby. It was Forever Young who began cutting into Sierra Leone first. Multiple times. If not for that, Sierra wins the Kentucky Derby. He's simply the better closer and Forever Young was never going by him. Best, Al

@@jjdog7159 Sierra Leone was off in his right hind leg in the post parade for the Preakness which may explain some of his lugging in and especially when he come out of the gate he would drift to the opposite front leg and remember he did not want to load in the gate in the Bluegrass.... horses are not stupid they know when they have something wrong with them it's just their caretakers and trainers. & owners THATdon't see it!( remember they paid 2.3 million for him. ..) I think Chad Brown needs to look at his ass end a little better and that's probably why all Brown's best wins are on the turf.... and I figured that out when I was in California working on horses ass ends & backs that most of them don't run well on the dirt they run better on the turf....

Agreed Carlos. Best, Al

In this race #8 and #10 clearly crashed into Sierra. Check out the replay.

We could only wish BB run in the Derby. I love that man. been following him since Chammonier

Brown made a bad move switching Jockeys. Pratt looked clueless out of the gate on that horse.

Look for Pratt to maintain mount. Best, Al

Tampoco es dato menor que Dornoch, ya le habia ganado a sierra Leona..

The first Triple Crown winner entered the Kentucky Derby as a maiden.

BS you put in your money to run, are eligible, you can run. Now we are barring horses from running? Your a fool!

exactly

Just telling it like it is with an unbiased eye. Best, Al

Well if he's off like he was in the Preakness post parade in his right hind leg that would explain why he's not right in his left front and as big as he is I don't think he's going to last much longer something will go Haywire

@@montanawarren8462 I don’t believe he was off. I Know he paddles badly. Could be an issue

@@theanonymouscomic8106 well if you seen him in the post parade in the Preakness I'm sure you would have noticed he was off in his right hind leg and that would definitely have caused him to lug in.... but if he was paddling badly in the left front leg and it was bothering him he wouldn't be in his left lead and he never did switch to his right lead till he got to the 8th Pole

@@montanawarren8462 wrong

@@theanonymouscomic8106 well I can see that you HAVE never trained or shod race horses.... but I'm glad I don't have $2.3 million invested in that horse

Thank you loloy! And May the Horse Aways Be with You! Best, Al

Not this time, Jean. Even with the slight gate problem, the other horses were guilty of bumping into him. Those bumps were the difference in the outcome, which was still close.

@@allhorseracingallthetime you better take a closer look at his ass end troubles dear

I saw the videos of Brown complaining about the speed bias. Best, Al

exactly he was suppose to win...no examinations or excuses

Haha Zenyatta NEVER gets by Blame in that race. Watch again. Garret took Blame out to center of track after he put away LAL. Watch the run out as well. Blame a Monster

@@realtruth2817 "Z NEVER gets by Blame". You are out of your mind.

Good observation and nice historical knowledge of the Thoroughbred breed @silosvince. The race you were referring to regarding Shoemaker was the 1957 Belmont on Gallant Man and lost to Calumet's Iron Leigh when he stood up prematurely thinking he won the race. What a class that was with that excellent racehorse and sire, Gallant Man. Also in that class was Secretariats sire, Bold Ruler, who came in, I believe, third behind Gallant Man in that race. The distance was too much for Bold Ruler. Also in that class was Northern Dancer's sire, Nearctic, who although usually lost to Bold Ruler in the sprint races but had the lead on him early on. By the way, Shoemaker was man enough and took the blame for Gallant Man's loss.

He is a great horse but your comment makes no sense if what you said is true That good horses need no excuses to then why is Ther inquirys n if a horse gets bumped or something else it effects the outcome I don't care how great they are So you can be a doubter of Sierra Leone but he's the best n will prove it In my eyes he's undefeated lost 2 races by inches n this one lost only because of Tons of bumping n no inquiry they just didn't want him to win.N. I can't just blame the jockey alone Yes he did wait to long before making his move but the sandwiched at the gate definitely threw him off course n he Didn't HIT THE GATE AT ALL HE WAS CRUNCHED BY 2 HORSE'S MINDFRAME AND NUMBER 8. THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE ATOUND THE TURN BEND PROTECTIVE CLEARLY DRIFTED OVER A FEW TIMES N CUT SIERRA LEONE OFF SO HE HAD TO GO IN THE MIDDLE PATH RIGHT THERE WAS A BLATENT FOUL BIG-TIME THAT SLOWED HIM UP AGAIN BUT SINCE HES SUCH A GREAT HORSE A FIGHTER A BEAST A WARRIOR HE ALMOST WON LONGER RACE LIKE USUAL MILE AND A HALF SIERRA LEONE WINS EASILY GOING AWAY I'm not big on Dornach it was a fluke n Mindframe needs more experience Sierra Leone will be back in time just watch and see.Only thing I wanna say Chad Brown made a huge mistake by switching jockeys Tyler Gafflione is a great Jockey and knows the horse very well he win 3 races and lost 2 by a nose Why would you change Jockeys at that point Horses know the Jockey n knows when there is someone else riding.Both are great jockeys Pratt and Gafflione but I think it had Alot to do with His Trip but Also all the Fouls and banging did contribute to his bad trip .I know everyone has a different opinion n that's k But My Dad has been Watching n Handicapping Horse racing for a very long time Hes 88 years old but looks grest for his age he thinks Sierra Leone definitely got bumped a few times and it should of been a Inquiry n Objection he said it makes no sense It's so clear to anyone with average vision It's starting to get Phony in some way not Fair If you watch it real slow it's so obvious that the bumping was a huge foul n it. Changed the outcome.I can't understand why the Jockey or Trainer didn't do anything they said Alot that Sierra Leone got banged n Sandwiched from the gate but talk means nothing I'm very disappointed in these races and outcomes If your aloud to just intentionally drift over n cut the horse off n Team up with another horse and crunch him to gain advantage then something is Strange out there.Ive said enough I'm very bothered about this Alot of my close Family and friends are disturbed with no action being taken at all Richie Miggliore he was a former great Jockey in Ny n now a Announcer on America's Day at the races was troubled by it also .

He did get suspended

@@Redwhiteblue-gr5em he was fined, not sudpended

Dance with who Brung you!

@gooeybeast174 I miss watching her run. Love the way she beat Gio Ponti in the 2009 Breedeers Cup Classic. She almost was undefeated. I read somewhere Mike Smith was remiss on his judgement

I saw that, delbert.

My final answer in the video was that he didn't get screwed. Best, Al

Great call on Dornoch! Best, Al

Your nuts don't know what race you were watching he didn't hit the gate bull He was sandwiched by Mindframe and Number 8 Then Around the turn Protective drifted into him like 3 times n cut him off He really didn't logg in n if he did a little it's because of the bumping By protective I disagree with you totally he's the best n he will show all you doubters I can't wait As bad as his trip he still almost won if race was usual mile and a half Sierra Leone wins going away he's wayyy better than Mystic Dan Mindframe Dornach all of them He's number 1 Only horse that might be better Muth

Sierra Leone was 8 wide up the backstretch because Tyler on Protective kept him out there. Tyler refused to drop over and save some ground. Watch the replay the rail was wide open up the backside.

@@frankdeangelo6327 I love you too! Thanks for your view - always welcomed.

@@NChan-hg2hy I did watch the replay and it's hard to determine exactly how far out Flavien had Sierra Leone out from the rail. I agree he did not attempt to save any ground, but the word is the rail had gotten very deep. Thanks for sharing your view. Isn't horse racing a great game?

Jockey was a known factor days ago. Betting and then Blaming jockey change for the loss is a BAD commentary.

Se llame excusas la justificación del mediocre.

It was SL rider bad judgement NOT running along the rail approaching and beginning the final turn. All kind of spacing along the rail at that spot. The start out of the gate was NOT the factor losing. The wide turn was a major mistake.

Best dirt horse in the country right now. Best, Al

It's right there on the camera, Joe. I couldn't make it easier to see. Re-watch this entire video and then get back to me. Thanks, Al

To me, it appeared the race was decided by his bad start. Still, SL only lost by 1 1/2 lengths. Best, Al

Thanks

I also think the second bump did him in more because he was bering in him could've been on purpose thanks

No whining here. I'm still waiting to hear an official reason from Chad about the jockey change. Best, Al

I don't know, Rick-but I've been hearing a lot of people saying that. Best, Al

Still, Sierra was right there at the end despite all of the trip troubles. Another 25 yards longer and he wins the race. Best, Al

It appears that at least in the Belmont that Sierra was the one being bumped right from the start. In the Derby, he was the one doing the bumping though. Best, Al

Yep, they don't care about the purse!

Physical speed potential shows a variation range within a gene line. But survival instinct is primary and dominant in all animals surviving. When evoked that makes horses run, and try to run faster than the next horse so not to be the one the Lion takes down. At least 4 colts have repeatedly shown that instinctive will to win. Big Time! SL is one. Mindframe and Dornoch too. Breeder gold. Compulsively competitive owners like Repole value that. Make our world and racing business go round. IMO. JVM.

Theory: O2 ratio in air relative to larger and more massive CO2 molecules may be making respiration less efficient.

Thanks for your take on the race. Watch the race again and you will see both the 8&10 cut in front of 9 and bang him. I agree SL wins at 1 1/2.

He still loses at a mile and a half Deep closers do not win the Belmont stakes at belmont

Pratt is a bad actor!!

Steven, and still Sierra nearly won the race. It'll be interesting what jock Brown turns to for the Travers and then BC. Agreed, he wins by open lengths at 1 1/2. Best, Al

@@hglick No way he loses at 1 1/2. Look at how much ground he made up late. At 1 1/2, he wins by 4 lengths or more.

@@hglick Truth! Better be one two three out the gate or you will get nothing.

He's very close to being undefeated. 2 noses and 1 1/2 lengths. We haven't heard the last of him.

@@allhorseracingallthetime he reminds me of taiba,overrated

He got banged multiple times at the start, off the turn and in the stretch. Still, SL was gaining like a train late and nearly won. Best, Al

At 1 1/2 miles and/or a clean trip, Sierra crushes Dornoch despite the speed bias. Best, Al

BS

BS

I was shocked that Tyler was replaced. Maybe Chad was pressured? I haven't heard Brown officially comment on the reason. Best, Al

Because they were looking elsewhere for pari mutual investments! Wake up!

@@kevinpantera4429 Yeah. Well how did that work out?

@@blabberer8950 very well!

Hi Bud - Agreed, a must use in the money. He's never been out of it. 6-3-2-1. Keep in mind, he wins 50% of the time too. Best, Al

Yes, because #8 and #10 cut him off and banged into him. Watch the video. Best, Al

No! Not screwed, just bad racing luck. PERIOD! Been there done that!

It'll be interesting to see who Chad choosing to ride SL in the Travers! Best, Al

If you watched the video until the end, I said my decision was that Sierra Leone didn't get screwed. However, he was interfered with right from the start. Best, Al

Pratt was dead before gate opened! And did not even make it look good! Bad actors this crew! Real players who love the till money. Forget the purse, forget the owners, and the public, they been getting COPPERED since gid knows when, and this will continue! Nobody fucks with the skim!

Just pointing out the obvious with video to prove it every step of the way. No excuses here. Rewatch the race and see for yourself. Best, Al

Yea he did get screwed big-time Sandwiched bumped a million times no inquirys why's that if that's not getting screwed I don't know what is You people don't know Horse racing Sierra Leone is the best n will prove it I can't wait so you doubters can look dumb.

I said in conclusion of the video that I didn't think Sierra Leone got screwed. However, during the course of the video I pointed out how other horses crashed into him, beginning coming right out of the gate! #8 and #10 both cut into his path and banged him. Rewatch and see for yourself. Best, Al

@@frankdeangelo6327 Exactly, Frank. I'm getting the impression that some of the people commenting never even saw the race. Best, Al

woe is me lol

Agreed, alcw. I see better coming from Sierra Leone moving forward in the Travers and perhaps the Breeders' Cup. I'm curious to see who rides him in his next race. Also, I'm not sold on Dornoch. There are multiple better 3-year-olds out there who are simply faster. Including Sierra Leone. Best, Al

Forever Young is a nice horse but Sierra Leone is better with a clean trip. He wins the Derby if the race is 10 yards longer. Best, Al

@allhorseracingallthetime you've got it backwards. If Sierra Leone had not ran into Forever Young, Force Young would've won the Derby. Serious Leone slowed Forever Young down, not the other way around. Sierra Leone had lost two races. Forget Young only lost one because of SL. It's true.

Watch today's video and then let's see what you think. 12pm ET. Best, Al

@charleslockhart6778 I agree with you that Dornoch would have won at 1 1/2 miles that day. He was on point, and his bloodlines would carry him that distance. Grandsire Curlin and nice he made up for his dam's sire Big Brown loss in the Belmont. My bad I gave up on him. I had an ex SL /mindframe and a tri SL/MF/seize the grey. Hope you did better. Hehehe

I don't know about that, Charles. Dornoch is a nice horse but there are better 3-yos out there. Sierra Leone being one of them. It wouldn't surprise me is he takes both the Travers and Breeders' Cup given his closing kick and the other early pace horses he'll be facing. The 3-year-old division is up for grabs wight now. Best, Al

@@silosvince Sierra Leone was closing fast on Dornoch in the Belmont. At 1 1/2 miles, he wins by open lengths. Best, Al

No he didn't your nuts Mindframe and Number 8 ,Sandwiched him big-time he never hit the gate watch slow mo. Then Around the turn the bend Protective clearly drifts into Sierra Leone like 3 times and cuts him off So of course that's gonna throw the horses direction off but as great as he is he still finds a lane in the middle n Closes so fast and hard he almost wins if the race was the usual mile and a half He wins easily going away He definitely got screwed It was so obvious that Ther were many Fouls against Sierra Leone Right from the gate set him back n he lost alot of ground Then the turn was terrible but that's k They just didn't want him to win It was fixed against him Because he was the favorite n Why can't onone explain why no inquiry or objections He's the best He will prove it to all you doubters N I can't wait He's great fighter beast My kind of horse To me he's undefeated.

No he didn't Forever young drifted first into Sierra Leone are you kidding me you need stronger vision I guess allllll the handicappers and Race announcers don't know what thr talking about because everyone said Forever young intiated the contact first end of story you must like Japanese horses Sierra Leone would destroy Forever young in a rematch Where was forever young in the Belmont I thought so knew he didn't have a chance at all Stay in Japan

Rewatch the race theonecm. I displayed it every step of the way right from the gate. #8 and #10 clearly moved into #9 and squashed him. And, Forever Young was never going to beat Sierra Leone in the Derby. Sierra was moving much faster at the end.

Watch the video again. Every step of the way is covered. Let your eyes do the work. It's all right here. Best, Al

Rewatch the race. This time Sierra Leone was clearing the one getting bumped. I displayed it every step up the video, beginning right from the gate. Best, Al

From how quickly Sierra was gaining late, I agree with just a little less bumping he likely wins and obviously wins going away at 1 1/2. Hopefully, Belmont construction is completed in time for the 2026 running of the Belmont Stakes back at 1 1/2. Best, Al
