Any ideas on Belmont Stakes?

The way this Triple Crown is going, maybe another surprise in Belmont. Not sure who I like on top yet but I think I have a key horse. Not really pumped up for this race but undercard will probably be superb.

Sunriver and Steppenwolfer stand out to me. Tell me if I'm way off.

Bob and John is the only Grade 1 stakes winner entered.
And he'll give you a double digit payoff.
Worth a double saw-buck win wager.

EM - the easiest money to be made here could be a Show bet on Stepwlf, if they get as many as 12 runners, it might pay $4 or more. Having a tough time getting a feel for this, don't know who will be where at certain points of race. Hope I have a clue by Sat. Which horse will be out on the lead is my first question = Bob&John? or BluegrassCat? Maybe even High Finance -- it may be one of these races where they take turns on the lead with a pack of closers sitting chilly behind them the whole way. Either way, don't expect lightning pace and you may see one of the slowest times ever for Belmont Stakes

Guys its a "B" horse year!!

Bob and John and Blue Grass Cat

Bluegrass Cat had the most trouble-free Derby trip, and is being widely-heralded...so ixnay in my book.

Charles, he might have the best tactical speed out of this bunch which should help his cause. His finish down the stretch at CD was not bad even though he did have the clean trip.

That's a good point-- makes me think of Sarava....
