I think he has a chance but he's far from a lock. In the Derby, there was a really fast pace and everyone was stopping. He won't get nearly as good of a set-up in the Belmont.

On the one hand, you would think that he would have no problem with the extra distance. On the other hand, it's pretty tough to run 1 1/2 miles on your left lead. He didn't switch coming down the lane in either one of his last two races. I would certainly consider that a negative.
