Belmont Stakes ... any under the radar ?

[The Biscuit]

Brody's cause should be 15-1 I'm guessing .... Anyone looking at any long shots that could win ???

I will look for horses with speed that have been stretching out or have been working out with the plan on stretching out.
On some occasions, the Belmont has been won by a horse that was either on the lead for the last 6f or has been in close attendance to the lead.
Of course I will look to see if the horse's pedigree has stamina on one or both sides.

If he goes, which I'm thinking he will, Governor Malibu looks very interesting to me from a number of factors.

[The Biscuit]

I would look him over for sure ...

Anyone like Cherry Wine's chances ...???

[SecretAgentMan]

I like Creator if he runs! I know closers have a hard time winning at Belmont, but after seeing the KD & Preakness run very fast up front, I think it happens again & the front gets burnt out at 1 1/2 race & closers come flying home.

Nyquist had a 102 temperature this morning and will not ship to Belmont today. O'Neill said he still hopes horse can make Belmont Stakes

He will be getting a lot of attention. And rightly so.

I second that!!

Any chance Mor Spirit runs?

[PhantomOnTour]

Any plans for Mohaymen to run in the Belmont?
He's one I would have a long look at if his people decide to run him.

[minethatbird08]

I would like to see Unified in the Belmont but not sure what Jerkins plan is.

They should but they are waiting til the Travers

I haven't really looked at Destin specifically, but he was 6th in the Derby.
Worth re-watching his trip if he enters the Belmont.

Stradivari also ran pretty well in the Preakness.

If Exaggerator is gong to be the heavy favorite, it will be worth looking at any E and E/P types (although you have to figure Desormeaux will brake and settle closer than usual)

[Rise Over Run]

He'll be running on June 11th, just not in the Belmont Stakes. Woody Stephens at 7f against 3yo or Met Mile against older.

He's the one I'm waiting for. Really thought he was going to run in the Preakness after the layoff coming into the Derby.

I liked him in the Derby for a win bet but not sure about 12f. I'll have to see the entries. He went about .5 to 1 second faster than I would have preferred for the first 6f in the Derby which I think hurt his chances.

Creator ran one heck of a race. Lmao@ Exaggerator 6-5, never thought he was a threat at 1 1/2

Nice call. I had yet another good day. It was a great Triple Crown run for me this year. Unfortunately, Creator is the only one I didn't have for the Pick 4. Getting past Destin at the line cost me a really big day.

As for Exaggerator, three wide on the first turn, 3 to 4 wide down the backstretch into the second turn.........no shot in a race like that. Not a good trip at all. The first quarter, Destin chasing Gettysburg didn't help my chances and made all the difference at the end for Creator. The track was fast but the fractions in the races were fair to fast, which gave the closers a good chance in several of the races yesterday. I really thought Destin had that race too, tough pill to swallow.

Yeah, Destin lost the race by chasing Gettysburg. I was yelling at the TV for Creator to straighten out coming down.the stretch......Destin ran one heck of a race as well.

Pletcher doesn't often get into the money in the KD, let alone win the race but he does decently in the Belmont if memory serves.

Bring on 2017 KD, where I'm waiting for a long shot to appear, lol!

So did Governor Malibu. but stopped twice trying to go the rail route. Good call on Creator.

[Del Park]

?Thats who I had! Got blocked, the horse in the next race did the same and they toked him down??

My friend needed Creator in the worst way. He was screaming the same exact thing. Like a dummy, I didn't use Creator, he hit the Win , Place and Exacta multiple times. It was really the only mistake I made yesterday, but Pick 4 wise and in the exacta, it was dozy...... :bang:

I could hear him over my shoulder yelling, "Straighten him out and go!!!!" and I was saying to myself..........NOOOOOOOOOO! With 10 yards to go...... :D :ThmbDown:
