How you wager upon the Belmont will probably boil down to your personal view of the Kentucky Derby. If you believe that the Derby was a fairly run race upon a fair and balanced track and that the best horses won you will probably be betting the horses that finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Derby. Unfortunately, even if that hypothesis is correct, those are precisely the horses the crowd is going to back for the very same reasons.

On the other hand if you believe the Derby was not a fair representation and the results closer to anamoly then the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finishers may not be as strong a wager as would otherwise appear. Gasp, Shriek..."An Anamoly"? What the heck is he talking about? Those top four horses were golden. Or were they?

The favorite will be Bluegrass Cat. At 3-1 he is about a PUSH and thats if one can really expect his Derby race. Will he be 3-1? Guessing he will, maybe a little shorter 5-2 perhaps.

Bluegrass Cat
Steppenwolfer
Jazil

Also coming out of the Derby are horsese that had excuses. Those horses are

Bob and John
Deputy Glitters

And then you have the horse they desperately wanted in the Derby that didn't make it

Sunriver

Guessing you can make up your Belmont Super if you pick correctly out of those mentioned. Certainly not implying that I have the answer yet. I'm not.

The best bred horses in the Belmont? No doubt its Steppewolfer and Sunriver.
