Belmont Stakes?

[Beginner]

Should be a great betting race.  It will be interesting to see who shows up.  Any thoughts on the favorite?  The early one I would think would be Ice Box...

Be interesting to see if Dublin runs..  maybe Yawanna comes back from short rest after having 6 weeks off into the Preakness.  How about a horse like Evening Jewel coming back from 5 weeks off?  Still too early to tell but one thing for sure is that pletcher will be back again with one of his many in the fleet (interactif?).

I will say that First Dude is a big horse with a long stride and if that boy could slow it down just a bit, he could be very tough. That effort was brutal though, setting the pace and trying to hold off the closers. Don\'t know if he can recover in three weeks.

Ice Box did not change leads in his last 2 races.

Looks like a good betting race with a big field.

The likely favorite Ice Box hasn\'t changed leads in his last two and won\'t get the same pace setup.

The probable second choice First Dude drifted out late on Saturday jumping up and now back on three weeks.

Potential runners:

Ice Box
Fly Down
Game on Dude-Baffert/Garcia
Drosselmeyer-Desormeaux getting tossed
DMC-sounds iffy-Tap leaning to running with fillies

Peter Pan?

For the Belmont, I would focus on Zito\'s other horse, not this one.
