Belmont Stakes Day 2022 Recap;  Right on Belmont, Other races here and there . Thursday, June 16, 2022.  It’s time for a little recap of the Belmont Stakes.  We did real well in that race, and in the 1st race. But there was, right, wrong, good, bad, ugly and stuff in between.  Let’s look at […]

. Saturday June 11, 2022.  Belmont Park is having it’s biggest day of the year, offering 7 Grade 1 races and a G2, highlighted by of course, the fabled Belmont Stakes:  Test of Champions.  Let’s go over that and a couple more races to get you primed.  Yesterday the Grid gave us some great long […]

. Saturday, May 14, 2022.  Belmont Park has its unofficial Belmont Stakes prep today, mostly for those 3yo’s that weren’t in the Kentucky Derby field and don’t plan on running in the Preakness next weekend. 5 graded stakes in all including the Manhattan G1 on turf right before the Pan G2. . Belmont has 11 […]

. Tuesday, June 1, 2021.  The Belmont Stakes had its post draw today with official posts and morning lines issued.  As luck (or lack thereof) would have it, we lost another good long shot.  Last week we lost Brooklyn Strong and this week UAE Derby winner Rebel’s Romance is out.  . So now all 5 […]

. May 26, 2021.  The Belmont Stakes is now 10 days away and we’re evaluating 10 horses competing for the last leg of the Triple Crown, which was the first leg last year, but that’s another story.  The contestants are of course, possibles and probables only, as nothing will be official for another week. . […]

. Wednesday, June 17 2020.  The Belmont Stakes post draw was held today and the field increased back to 10 with the surprise entry of Fore Left by Doug O’neill for Reddam Racing.  Tiz the Law is favored as deserved and expected, with Sole Volante, Dr Post and Tap It To Win competing for 2nd […]

. June 15, 2020.  The Belmont Stakes field has been reduced to 9 at this time, as connections brave enough to take on Tiz The Law are diminishing.  The favorite has now become a heavy favorite and it will be the powerful G1 Florida Derby champion’s race to win or lose. LATEST UPDATED BELMONT PRECAP […]

. June 3, 2020.  The Belmont Stakes has been scheduled for June 20, a typical date for the race.  But everything about it is atypical this month.  For one, there has been no Kentucky Derby; secondly there was no Preakness Stakes; and thirdly, the distance has been reduced to 9 furlongs, vastly different from the […]

. Wednesday, June 5, 2019. Belmont Stakes week is here again so it’s time to overanalyze it and make some picks. While others might give you some ridiculously obvious and unhelpful facts such as, “every time the Kentucky Derby winner didn’t run in the Belmont Stakes, it was won by a non-Derby winner,” we actually […]

Monday, June 11, 2018, Belmont Park. The usual Monday morning jockeying has been going on since Saturday night, with the backers of the favorite happily saying they told you so. These were the same people who wanted to tell you so 12 times between 1978 and 2015, but couldn’t. . . Then there are those […]
