Over/Under Belmont Field Size?

[clambeau]

Seven ? I'm just asking....

[santana]

I will take the over....I couldnt tell you who possibly the new shooters could be at this point...
This looks like a legit TC threat.....Till bodie goes wire to wire.

I think Bode doesn't go to the Belmont. I just hope they don't retire him. But I'll still take the over.

Jeff Siegel (HRTV) says Paynter a Preakness possible...Union Rags, Dullahan...that's four...Does Zito have anything lurking in the wings? I think I'm going with the "under" (mind you, I made the "line" so not sure if I can pick)

Last Three TC Field Sizes

1973 - 5
1977 - 8
1978 - 5

So much for the "good ol days" of great big field sizes

At least Union Rags will take some $. I'll Have Another will be the favorite for the first time in his racing career but he won't be 1/5.

Might be the last Grade I race he runs in if he keeps running "95's" (Union Rags, that is)

I think you will get at least 8. Things are different now, people will run truely hopeless horses just to say they had a runner in the triple crown.

"For What it's Worth Dept. ...
Here's rundown of last 3 Triple Crowns of # horses defeated by TC winner
