It looks as if ESPN put about 15 seconds worth of preparation into this draw braodcast.

I guess they also realize it doesn't matter.

I wasn't paying close attention. Casino Drive got the 5. The maiden got the 2.

From Bloodhorse.com

Guadalcanal, who has yet to break his maiden in five career starts, was a surprise entry in the June 7 Belmont Stakes (gr. I) when entries were taken Wednesday.

Owned and trained by Fred Seitz, the son of Graeme Hall—Bessette (by Quest for Fame), has two seconds and a third, with earnings of $16,100.

Guadalcanal, who will be ridden by Javier Castellano, drew post position two in the Belmont.

Didn't Nolan's Cat run 3rd as a Maiden in 2004?
