6/6: Belmont Park (1st-13th)
A different kind of Triple Crown season draws to a close today, having already produced a highly memorable and entertaining traverse of results and emotions. The 'heroes and villains' of this particularly peculiar campaign have exchanged hats more than once since Kentucky, but the overall winner in the final analysis may be the game of racing with several potentially sustainable equine and human stars having emerged.
Weather has been poor the last 48 hours and we will encounter a wet track to start the day at Belmont. With luck, the main track should improve as the afternoon wears on, but there has to be a great deal of moisture in it to start. The turf will be yielding at best. Good luck today, and I hope you have enjoyed 'At the Races' coverage of the 2009 Derby, Preakness and Belmont.

Steve,
Either you have a typo or you're using Charitable Man #6 instead of #9 Miner's Escape. Good Luck today and Hopefully I'll see you at Belmont.

Anyway, in the Belmont, I'm liking Luv Gov. I agree with most of Steve's picks, but I have to wonder, why is everyone on here so high on This One's For Phil?
