TURF TALK: DeRosa & Hanson on rabbits, Untapable, and Songbird

TwinSpires.com How to Bet the Belmont Stakes podcast presented by Brisnet.com

Going into Belmont Stakes week, Gettysburg was not Creator's stablemate, but he was going into the Belmont Stakes starting gate, as trainer Steve Asmussen used WinStar's colt as a rabbit for the stable's Creator, who went on to win the classic. Ed DeRosa & Vance Hanson take no issue with such tactics but wondered about the odd aftermath in which WinStar CEO Elliott Walden said Todd Pletcher would train Gettysburg following the race, but Todd said, "no thanks." DeRosa and Hanson also discuss three-year-old fillies, as Untapable retires and Songbird remains undefeated. To read Hanson's blog on Untapable, CLICK HERE.
