But who do you like in these two races, the 7th and 10th, to put up against my Stalingrad and Bayou's Lassie?

Steve, thanks for the picks. In the early p-4, it seems your picks are for races 1,2,4, and 5 and the p-4 starts with race 2.

Have a great Belmont day!!!

I wish I could book every cent on Vitruvius.

Haven't people gotten tired of losing money on this horse yet?

The 140th running of the Belmont Stakes

with Casino Drive scratched I guess I'll be rooting for history....

BIG BROWN (#1)
This unbeaten, untied upon equine monster is looking to become the 12th Triple Crown winner in history; totally brilliant in both the Kentucky Derby & Preakness Stakes, he has overcome foot issues the last three weeks since then; gets the call now the Casino Drive is out.

READY’S ECHO (#9)
Not often that you see this combination with a morning line odds of 30-1; void of early speed, this “Silky Sullivan” like runner comes far off the pace & will be flying late in the stretch, the “value play” in this race.

TALE OF EKATI (#7)
No factor 4th in the Kentucky Derby, this Barclay Tagg trainee is two for two over the Belmont strip; breeding wise, he doesn’t look like he wants the distance on paper; But figures in the exotics with his “back” class.

DENIS OF CORK (#4)
Rallied from dead last in the Kentucky to be a no factor 3rd with a up the rail trip; gets jockey switch today from Calvin Borel to Robbie Albarado & the five week break between races; could set a good trip stalking behind the leaders.

I'm not going to try to beat Indian Blessing or Big Brown today.. both will roll (says the guy talking about an even odds and 2/5 horse in their respective races )

I like Lady of Venice a lot in the Just a Game. I do think Benny the Bull and Ready's Image are beatable favorites today. As for the Manhattan... good luck!

If you want to know who I like there are video analyses of every stake on DRF Plus that I did with Dan Illman.

Bayou's Lassie rolled on a speed favoring turf versus considerably weaker horses in her last race and faces, at least, stalking pressure from the much better Bit of Whimsey. She can't deal with her as they turn for home and she certainly can't deal with Lady of Venice and Criminologist later.

Stalingrad has had perfect trips in his last two races against considerably weaker. I respect the idea of taking an up and comer, if in fact that is true about your selection, but to me he is a horse with dramatically dressed up form that I would be looking to bet against versus a much weaker field. Simply said....he isn't as good as he looks and even at face value he doesn't look good enough to compete here.

If I can get Vitruvius to run like he did at Aqu in April of last year you will be running for the silver and bronze. I like the 5 in the 4th,

Nice run at 11/1, guessing you crushed this exacta

6: 7 = 3.00
7: 1,3,4,5 = 4 = $21.20
8: 2 = OUT
9: 2,4,5,6,8 = 5 = 7.20
10: 5,6,7,9,10 = 10 = 10.40
11: 1

$200

Played this ticket with a friend, hoping to change recent luck by posting ticket

Can anyone explain the rationale behind the 10th not having a Super ?
