You should really expect as much when you ask about the chances of a horse in the Belmont that owns 2 career wins, the maiden coming in his 4th start and the other an 25K Optional Claimer. Seriously against this field what am I missing?

I do not have close to the horse racing knowledge most on this board have. With that being said, I read somewhere last night that his pedigree is well suited for this distance. I didn't know if he was deemed a closer or not. With people saying closers could have the best chance to win and his pedigree I thought he could have a chance to at least hit the board. Thanks for the info though
