I'll care, when the race is drawn and I can actually see a field on paper.

It's a potential wagering opportunity, at a track that I play regularly, horribad horses or not.

Not to mention the undercard will be stacked. Proviso's running in the Just a Game and that generally draws a strong field. Gio Ponti is coming back in the Manhattan and may be quite vulnerable in his first back from Dubai. The Acorn should have a respectable field given how wide open the 3YO filly ranks seem right now and the Woody Stephens will be solid.

Are we looking at full fields on the undercard stakes?

If there are no defections from the horses heading that way now, I think it will be a great race to bet. Though as Zito said, "See you in NY" holding a strong pair with Ice Box and Fly Down.

McLaughlin in familiar spot for Belmont

The last time the Belmont Stakes was held without the Kentucky Derby winner and the Preakness winner in the field was 2006, and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin won the race with Jazil.

I like how Privman summed up Icebox's trip in the Derby:

"At Churchill Downs, Ice Box breezed a half-mile in 46.40 seconds eight days before the Derby. He then turned in a terrific effort, rallying to finish second while encountering more trouble than British Petroleum has gotten into lately."

Good one.
