YOU ARE RIGHT.................... Still hard for me to bet an ex-claimer...will perhaps take a new face. You? Best, Don

Well my man...do we wait for the pp draws to make our pick(s)... In the past, with smaller fields, this race (even at 12fs - has been stolen on the lead). Woody Stevens - won 5 consecutive Belmont's with horses that HAD NOT STARTED in the DERBY. (I think A. Jerkins must be considered in ANY BIG RACE.) Your take? Best, Don

BELMONT PICKS..................... As we all know - the Belmont is the most interesting race of the three for several factors: distance, track itself, usually the presence of new faces, and the possible pace scenarios...making it more of a "jockey's race" than either the Derby or Preakness. This is THE ONE that the breeders want. That being said, let's look at the logical contenders - CHARISMATIC - off the previous, he deserves the favorites mantle. MENIFFEE - has yet to prove he is better than top one, and may be regressing a tad. Can't dismiss however. SILVERBULLITDAY - top notch gal. Last within one second of track record (and Gary hand rode her at the end). She is a likely pace factor (perhaps 2nd for the first mile of so, then taking command at top of lane as Jerry attempts to "steal home"). (Sure, I know, fillies vs. colts adage - but this isn't just any filly and the male group appear ordinary). BEST OF LUCK - the "new face". Just won a graded race, over this track (albeit listed "muddy"). Same jock. H. A. Jerkins is a "hall of fame" trainer ("The Giant Killer"). Horse has not been raced to death either. Comes "from out of it" in the past, but could have an impact late......the rest all seem over matched and outclassed. Don't see any values here, so bet accordingly. Best, Don
