Who runs in Belmont?

My guess is that Noble's Promise will be entered, take money, and be destroyed.

I would not discount First Dude ala Da Tara to take a stab on the front end.... The Dude is game... Ice Box seems the logical choice at this point...

noble's promise is supposed to go over seas, running in a group one race on the turf. they know he's not a classic distance horse.

Ice Box won't get the right set up. He looks good visually for 12 f because of his closing style, but his ability to close could also be flattened out by the distance.

Its not like the prospective field that will be running against will be anything stellar either. The win relies on when Lezcano pushes the button for Ice Box to go. He had 5 weeks rest and should be sitting on a big performance. I just hope they try him on Turf in his subsequent starts. I feel he could be a monster turf horse than a dirt horse in his career.

Zito doesn't do turf.

Lukas didn't quite get what he wanted out of Northern Giant in the Preakness. Better give him another shot in the Belmont.

Dublin is an automatic as well.

Dublin is not running in the Belmont. Will be pointed for the Haskel.

Good point but it would be a shame if he just kept him on dirt
