I haven't decided who I'm picking for the Belmont yet. I know it won't be I'll Have Another. I think there's about a 1 in 3 chance he wins, but his odds will not even be close to 2-1, so he is not the right bet.

I'll post my pick by Thursday. Who you guys got?

I have bet on the Triple Crown Attempt the last 3 opportunities and made a profit all 3 times - Bet the same amount on the entire field except the Favorite!

DULLAHAN WINS THE BELMONT

"I seen the dullahan myself, stopping on the brow of the hill between Bryansford and Moneyscalp late one evening, just as the sun was setting. It was completely headless but it held up its own head in its hand and I heard it call out a name. I put my hand across my ears in case the name was my own, so I couldn't hear what it said. When I looked again, it was gone. But shortly afterwards, there was a bad car accident on that very hill and a young man was killed. It had been his name that the dullahan was calling."

If I recall the dullahan is afraid of gold...not a great name for a racehorse

I doubt he does it...if Spectacular Bid couldn't do it, I say some other horse will spring the upset. Paynter is my choice.

Ronnie Franklin deserves full credit for that loss.

I'll Have Another will not have any gold on his saddle so the Dullahan will go quickly by him.
And Another's dream of a Triple Crown will die at Belmont.

Buzz, I'm agreeing with you on this one. Dullahan is my pick.

I could see a pace scenario in which Paynter wins as well.

I'll Have Another could definitely win the race, but he's a horrible bet at 1-2 or whatever he'll go off at.
