I think the one big oversight is Slew's Tizy here. He'd be going into that race on a month's rest. Not bad. Still unproven on a fast dirt surface, but I think he runs here.

Rags To Riches has a big look in the Belmont Stakes.
I'm going to wait and see how the race shapes up and who's in it---but it's going to be very tough for me to resist betting on her.

Has a Filly ever won the Belmont? I don't recall a filly ever running in it.

It's been won by a filly twice...Ruthless took the very 1st Belmont Stakes ever...which was in the 1860's I believe.....and a filly who's name escapes me won it in 1905.
Hasn't been done in over a hundred years---but hey, you guys know how I feel about those trends. Two very nice fillies ran it in the 90's....My Flag was 3rd to Editor's Note and Skip Away....Silverbulletday was off the board. Rags To Riches has a monster look in that race regardless of any historical stats.

Tanya won on 1905.
Ruthless was not only a filly, she was foaled in NY! A NY bred! Imagine... It really is too bad that the G1 Belmont is a non-event for so many horses which at some point in the season were considered amongst the top 10 Derby candidates. In fact it almost seems like for all but the Derby winner, the the Preakness and the Belmont are meaningless.

I would have to agree, at this point she is the only one left- but we'll see, 3 weeks is a long time.

Something tells me the "top 3" from both the Derby & Preakness...WON'T be going.
They're saving the "test of the champions" for...the lady!

I just hope the weather is nice that day and I hope they load up the undercard. The negative attitude yesterday on my part was due in part to all of the chalk at both Belmont and Pimilco. Also I wanted to see the potential for the Triple Crown. I lost a few hundred yesterday..not really the reason for sour grapes...In fact I bet Hard Spun. I disliked him in the Derby and loved him here. Oh well..that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Welcome aboard Herkhorse! I just noticed your a couple miles "up the road" from me. Spent a lot of time at the Herkimer OTB in the late 80's & early 90's when I lived in Fort Plain. Don't care for the new location across from the McDonalds though, the old place was great back in the 80's. Ever been to the OTB at Mr.McGills up the road in Schulyer? Heather the bartender is real friendly and cute!

Sorry I didn't make it up yesterday, but I spend from 2:30 til 5:45 at the autograph signing in Amsterdam for the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame "meet and greet". Met my idol; "Rowdy" Roddy Piper! Shook his hand and got his autograph...great guy, real friendly and signed for everybody. Other greats like: The Missing Link, Fabolous Moolah, Mae Young, Nick Bockwinkel, Pat Patterson, Doink the Clown and the "Million Man" Ted DiBiase. It was worth the long wait in line  ...watched the race over at OTB and got there with 20 mins to post. Hit the early pick 4 at Pimlico for a buck and had the "triple box" in the Preak. It's been a very good week wagering for me!
