Best-known syndicate pulls no punches! Most of the attention at the Belmont Stakes Media Luncheon in the Rockefeller Center was focused on the owners and trainers, rather than their horses, when Barry Irwin and Dale Romans took off their gloves off and gave each other a good ribbing in the name of fun. Team Valor International's Barry Irwin, the outspoken owner of Kentucky Derby (G1) winner, Animal Kingdom, was the first to throw down the gauntlet in advance of Saturday's showdown with Shackleford (Forestry), saying he wasn't worried at all about the rematch with the Preakness (G1) winner in Saturday's $1 million Belmont Stakes(G1). "I'm not concerned at all about Shackleford; Mucho Macho Man is the horse I'm worried about." Trainer Dale Romans, who had saddled Shackleford to a half-length victory over the Derby winner at Pimlico, was quick to fire back, “"That's not the dumbest thing that Barry's ever said, but it's close!" Irwin also hinted at an unorthodox summer campaign for Animal Kingdom, “After the Belmont Stakes, the Breeders Cup Classic would be a long-term goal at the end of the year,” he said. “But I have my own idea of how to get there that wouldn't include the Haskell or the Travers.” To which Romans responded: “I’ll meet Animal Kingdom on any track, at any distance.” Saturday’s Belmont Stakes will mark the 22nd time the individual winners of the Derby and the Preakness have met in 143 editions of the “Test of the Champion.” Of the 21 prior rubber matches, Preakness winners have won 10 runnings, while Derby winners have emerged victorious in five. Did you know that Team Valor International is the best-known syndicate in the world of horse racing according to The New York Times. Did you know that Digiturf.com have sponsored the Belmont Stakes Championship WFA with $500 cash?
Who Will Make The News In The Virtual Triple Crown? The stakes are getting higher at Digiturf.com because the race programmer has sponsored the most exciting Virtual Triple Crown Championship ever by combining the Kentucky Stakes with the Preakness Stakes and the challenging Belmont Stakes to create a racing extravaganza. The Kentucky Stakes, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes are three of the most prestigious championship races in their own right but collectively they represent the ultimate challenge for any trainer: The Virtual Triple Crown of online horse racing. It has become an annual highlight on Digiturf.com and it’s becoming increasingly more competitive and lucrative. This is virtual horse racing at its best. It is extremely competitive because while winning one Virtual Triple Crown Championship is an accomplishment, winning all three is virtually impossible. The Virtual Triple Crown Championship works in the same way as Digiturf.com’s seasonal (4-monthly) Championship Series. And as with true to real life racing your virtual horses also need to qualify for their place in the championships. You have thirty-six qualifying races over 1800m, 2200m, and 2400m distances for colts and fillies - the first qualifier runs on April 25, 2011 and the last qualifier runs on June 10, 2011. Each qualifier is worth an added $100 in bonus credits. Each final is worth an extra $500 cash. Each trainer is in it for themself. It’s six weeks of non-stop qualifying building up to the Kentucky, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes Championship Finals. Plus there are also Consolations where 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instances are worth $200, $150, and $100 in bonus credits respectively - sponsored proportionately to the number of runners. The Virtual Triple Crown Championship is worth over $7,000. Virtual Triple Crown Championship - Finals Schedule

The challenge to win the Virtual Triple Crown includes training and preparing your horses to compete against the most competitive horses in the virtual horse racing community. The races are so competitive that preparation requires intensive training, nutritional supplementation, and tack application. For all the blood, sweat, and tears invested in training and preparation of the races, the rewards provide all the incentive, motivation, and consolation needed. It couldn’t get any sweeter unless you win all three championships, and in keeping with the tradition of the Triple Crown, Digiturf.com doubles your winnings. Top trainers went all the way to get to the top. Chrisman was pitted against Trezza in the same races, while MudFlaps, Mckinleys, Panov, and Tri M Fent Stables were all packing enough firepower into the races to start another world war. The lines had been drawn for the most competitive virtual championship races where the most skilled players in the world were competing against each other. Even fresh-faced rookies Karl Khoder and Paris House were saddling their horses for the ultimate race against the biggest players. Karl Khoder goes from rookie to champion in the 2010 Virtual Triple Crown This season the Digiturf.com virtual horse racing community wants to see how Cepat Kaya, Austin's Racing, Bigslick, Black Lab Farms, Bluegrass Speed, Bunks Racing, Myrtle's Knackery, Ole Jim C Stables, Pecka's Pack, Shore Stables, and Thomo's Racing do in their first Virtual Triple Crown.

The races were filled with the season’s hottest championship contenders from Ap Death Blow, Bust My Balls, Django, Quiet Vixen, Queen Gaga, Rusty Queen, Rusty Nightmare, Domination Legend, and Rolex Girl all the way to Perfect Sakura.
