I will pass on Belmont. It's extremely difficult to have any idea how these three year olds will do running a distance they have never run nor will ever run again. It seems like a total crap shot.
If I were to guess I would have thought Orb would have a decent shot (but not a value bet) due to his consistently running level fractions. I doubt he's going there next, he deserves some time off after a strong campaign.
ANother odd factor about Belmont is that the race doesn't really favor closers as far as I can recall. It would be hard to back a closer like Mylute
