If you were handicapping Belmont with the notion that speed might be good in the slop I will tell you after watching race one that the fractions were very slow for that group. 49 for a half on a straightaway, yuch. They crawled home in 1:54 for a mile and eigth which is even slower than it sounds since thats a one turn mile and an eighth.
It appears to be a deep and heavy sloppy surface which is quite possibly the hardest surface in the world to handicap.
Good ****ing luck is all I have to say.
