Belmont race 1 Thursday

first question...will the winner break 1:40 for the mile in this event?
second question....Is there a horse in this race who qualifies for this much purse money, on her accomplishments at the race track?

I'll try the heavy chalk to hit the board, number seven, in 1:41 and change.

wow 139 4/5...shaves over 3 seconds off a losing effort at Meadowlands, the one turn mile here explains most of that I suppose but still a lifetime best for the winner. Seven also got a less than stellar ride imo. Been best on front end in this event, but restrained back in the field big part of race.

Also, anybody know if the track was sealed before todays racing?...I could not find that info anywhere....what weather is expected there today?
