I actually look for at least a little more pace than people are expecting in the Belmont.

You have a full field, a big crowd that might stir up a few horses, not a very long run into the 1st turn, and a lot of jockeys on hopeless horses who know they have no shot if they're not forward...and might want to try and pull a D' Tara on the front end or a Commendable pressing a stretch-out sprinter from a clear 2nd.

Paynter won a 5.5 furlong maiden race just four months ago. Unstoppable U won a 6 furlong maiden dueling on the lead less than 3 months ago. A few other horses in there can go faster than 48.

I just wish I didn't have to hear all of those people going on about how Dullahan is training. I'm gonna take one last shot with him. I don't see myself on him again for a while after this.
