because of the off placement of the starting gate on the turn in 1 1/4-mile races at Belmont, both horses will have to be extremely sharp coming out of the gate or get left hung out to dry going into the long run down the backstretch.

It's fine short field grade 3 race for a million friggin dollars. Fcuk the breeders cup which is 2 awesome days of racing, great party, amazing fun, with horrid side effects. Breeders Cup has become a drug commercial. The drug is great and could control your ailment BUT side effects include nausea, liver failure,renal failure,vomiting and sudden lose of breathe, if you experience such issues please consult your physician. |

6/1 on Big Gray Rocket?
He may go favored in that spot, at worst second choice.

Jesus they hooked up. Biggest losing effort in a while from Syndergaard. Horse ran his eyeballs out.

1995 - Post 10 in a 10 horse field
2001 - Post 10 in a 13 horse field 2005 - Post 12 in a 13 horse field There's no problem with a wide post going 10fs at Belmont because the turns are so sweeping. |
