Belmont Stakes Predictions

The last of the Triple Crown races, the Belmont Stakes, will take place later this afternoon. In a typically thin field of only 11 horses, there is no clear cut favorite and the worst odds so far are about 20-1. It is a kind of bizarre year for the Belmont as the neither of the winners of the prior legs of the Triple Crown or many of the recently in-form horses are in the race for a variety of reasons.

There are six horses with odds ranging form 4-1 to 9-1, Twisted Tom. Tapwrit, Gormley, Lookin’ at Lee, Irish War Cry, and Senior Investment.

With no clear favorite and the erratic results of the horses that are running, it’s anyone’s guess as to who can win this one. I’ll go with the Irish War Cry and Gormley exacta for all it’s worth.
