Stay Thirsty... so he can shut the haters the hell up and because he was always the second banana, the afterthought, the younger sibling (you know what I mean).

Mainly for the first reason though.

This would be my pick too. I go with the second banana theory. Everyone, even Dad Rapole has been paying so much attention to Mo. It would be cool for the little bro Thirsty to sneak up on this group and take the Belmont. Where he should be running aside, he gets no respect.

I'll yell for AK or Shack, and would be happy to see either win. Not only because it might be "good for the sport" but because I would like to see a dominant 3YO or pair of 3YOs for the year. Imagine if they finish 1-2 and continue to face off against each other. If not those two, then I'll be happy if Mucho Macho Man or Brilliant Speed manages to pull it off. MMM because he's been well-campaigned for a (not even yet) 3YO and it seems he just can't catch a break, and BS because of his breeding and connections (and I'm a big fan of Dynaformer).

OldDog's getting excited! (a la George Costanza)

Animal Kingdom, both to keep BI in the spotlight and to get the comical reactions to him on here.

Monzon, because of the sire, the breeder and state pride.
