You’ve made some good points and I think the best one is that this is a hard race to handicap and there are quite a few horses in it that could win. I’ll stick to my picks, though. I think your choice does have a good shot and going for a price in a race like this is the way to go. As for Oh So Awesome, I think they didn’t ask for much in the race on the dirt and were aiming for this race. I look at that as a conditioning race and think this time the horse will be asked for more and has the pedigree and racing experience to deliver.
I wouldn’t normally play this race but since its the Belmont I’ll give it a shot.
