And The Winner Of The Belmont is........

I'd take Frosted right now if anyone is going to beat Pharoah. He'll be rested and ready back in NY.

Horses like Keen Ice almost never win the Belmont. But they sure do get lots of money.

Yep. Ice Box, Denis of Cork, Dullahan, Commanding Curve, etc. The only somewhat recent horse I remember pulling off the Kentucky Derby close/Belmont win double is Jazil.

Summer Bird and Birdstone (the latter the sire of the other) also were passing tired horses in the Derby prior to a Belmont win.

Union Rags as well.

I'm amazed that People are trying to pick the winner of the Belmont a little less than two weeks before the Preakness has been run.

You're like the lady in the live audience at a Jerry Springer taping that stands up and invariably proclaims, "Y'all need therapy!".

9 of the last 10 Belmont winners did not run in the Preakness.

But I guess we should at least wait for the Peter Pan or Dwyer or whatever they call it now.

Why all these threads? They should just be asking Don Guido, it could save a lot of typing.

Way too much idle time on their hands. Me, I'm using my idle time figuring out how I can do more "red boarding" on the Preakness since now I know what turns everyone on here. : cool:

Dollar Bill closed to be within 5 or 6 lengths of Point Given in the Preakness & seemed like a pretty good bet in the Belmont at 6-1.....took the bait again on that one!!!!

I remember Dollar Bill sucking away people's money more than any other horse that comes to mind.

I know he didn't win, but didn't DoC run a legit 2nd in the Belmont?
