How does he lose against this field?

if he decides to do a somersault at the half-mile pole he would probably still win

Aren't you the one that said he couldn't win the Derby?

Gaudalcanal gets spooked and breaks toward the rail taking out Big Brown.

If another horse crosses the finish line before him.

I found this clip of Citation winning the Belmont from the number one post:

http://www.thoughtequity.com/video/clip/1617569_014.do

It's an old newsreel; doesn't show the entire race, but does show the break, where he stumbles slightly.

Fun viewing, 60 years later.
