| The receipts at Belmont drop like a rock when there's no chance for a triple crown winner. |

| I'm glad he wear them. Partially because of the mental game his trainers, riders, and owners would have had to go through thinking of the what-ifs before and after the race.
This way, the stakes are the same for all 3 races. |

This is going to be a heck of a race. Commanding Curve and Ride on Curlin have the ability to win this race too. CC must bring his A game for sure. |

Its def going to be an amazing race. Tickets thru ticketmaster went on sale at 10 am EST this morning. I called at 1015 and they were sold out! I had to go thru a diff site for them. Traffic will be insane to get there but its worth it!! |

CC didn't even need the whip in the Preakness. Don't think ROC will be too much of a contender during the Belmont but I could be wrong.  |

I agree!! Commanding Curve is rested. He will be ready to run!! ROC and CC are tired...it's going to take everything they have to keep up in the front!! Let's hope for a dry track!! I am rooting for CC as I want to see a Triple Crown Winner!! This is a race that he is going to be challenged! Let's hope his jockey comes prepared!!! (Danza and Wicked Strong will be up there too)!!
My picks:
CC
Commanding Curve
ROC |

Who knows.... They just need to set it in stone now, so that the stewards can't "cherry pick" who can and can't do what. |

Location: California | Curly is not tired. He is a very tough horse. I predicted the Preakness would be the Chrome and Curly show and I was right. Those two will dominate the Belmont. |
