You have the Prado angle, you have the Jazil/RTR angle, you have the Japanese angle....anyone got a few more angles to throw out?

Peru angle: The jockeys from Peru (Bejarano, Garcia and Prado) their are just in a hot momentum. Alan García is in 3th place of wining races (20) in Belmont Parks. (Coa has 25), but in winning money he´s in top with US$ 1'286,865.
Prado knows very well the "Bel track" and his is a Giantkiller.
So BB is not safe.

My guess is that the only way BB will lose, will be to get caught late. I would think, based on his derby finish that the most likely horse to run him down would be DOC. Now, by no means am I saying DOC is the best horse, but neither was Sarava or Birdstone. If things get funny up front, and I think CD will be close up as well, the spoiler will be DOC. I wouldn't be shocked to see him closer to 7 or 8-1 than the 10-1 he currently sits at.
