The Belmont Stakes...


Alright...I'm 0 for 2 in the 2009 triple crown races, and come Saturday night I don't see any reason I can't make it 0 for 3. The Belmont Stakes lacks a little luster this year, because no horse is racing for the elusive triple crown, but it is still the longest race of the 3 crown jewels (1 and 1/2 miles) and is considered the "test of a champion".


This years race has very little up front speed, so you may see a horse try and take the field wire to wire. Mine that Bird (winner of the Kentucky Derby, and 2nd in the Preakness) is the Morning Line favorite. As usual, I'm going to try and beat the favorite and see what happens.


With the way this race shapes up, I'm thinking that at the top of the strech heading for home it will be a 3 horse race with a few horses flying from the back to try and get into the money.


$1 Exacta Box: 1,2,4,6 = $12

$1 Trifecta Box: 1,2,4,6 = $24

Longshot to win: #3 Mr. Hot Stuff


Enjoy the races on Saturday, and good luck to all!


P.S.- Shout out to our boy Jumpoff J as Cowboy Cal will be racing on the undercard of the Belmont Stakes tomorrow.
