Belmont Analysis

Flying Private ran huge in the preakness, and finished 4th. I just can't see him menacing today. He is just a cut below the rest.

Miner's Escape took 6 tries to break his maiden, and the Fedrico Tesio stakes was quite weak this year. He is a cut below as well.

Both of these horses are tosses to me.

I think he has more of a chance than the last 2 I mentioned, but I still don't really like him. His last couple of races have been mediocre against mediocre competition. He needs a big improvement to be able to get into the mix. He does like the track which is a plus. I still think I toss him though.

I exacta box 2-6-7 and and put 5$ on Dunkirk and Charitable Man.

The more I hear about him, the more I like Charitable Man as well, but I still don't think you can completely discount Chocolate Candy. Mine That Bird is still somewhat of a sentimental pick just because I want to see Calvin go for the jockey triple crown, but I'm mainly just sad Rachel Alexandra isn't running. If it's best for her to not run though then I'm all for that.
