I am actually not going to bet the Belmont itself... If I was probably Pharoah/Frosted/Madefromlucky ex box, or bets on 'Lucky and Frosted. I agree on yours raven... I just want to sit back and watch, and hope Pharoah can get it done.

Yes he did.  His dominant races where on the slop!!

True enough!

OK, raven, I think I might join you and bet Madefromlucky WPS... at 14/1 that's too good to pass up.
Still hoping Pharoah gets it done though.

I was at the track in 1977 and 1978 for the Belmont
So no sentimentality for me in this race!

Not the second fastest Belmont. Easy Goer and another horse, That's skipping my mind did the Belmont in 2:26 flat. But American Pharoah had the second fastest Belmont of all the triple crown winners.

Well, my picks would have been AP and Frosted with Mubtaahij and Madefromlucky...but there is no way I would have seen Keen Ice.

One big irony here is that 2 of the top 3 finishers trained at Churchill Downs.

So much for the notion that you had to train at Belmont to do well there.
