1. Medal Count, R. Albarado, 20-1
2. California Chrome, V. Espinoza, 3-5
3. Matterhorn, J. Bravo, 30-1
4. Commanding Curve, S. Bridgmohan, 15-1
5. Ride On Curlin, J. Velazquez, 12-1
6. Matuszak, M. Smith, 30-1
7. Samraat, J. Ortiz, 20-1
8. Commissioner, J. Castellano, 20-1

Can he? Absolutely. Will he? Well . . . history says that's a different story. I think he has as good a chance as any three year old since Spectacular Bid did back in 1979. But Triple Crown winners are rare for a reason. And the mile and a half of the Belmont is a very testing distance, especially after two grueling races in five weeks. I'd take a stand against him, especially if he goes off under 2-1, and I think he'll go off at 4-5 or even money. If the morning line odds were there five minutes to post, I'd have to take a stand on Commanding Curve at 15-1. But surely he comes down to about 6-1. I can't seem him going off at double digits. Ride On Curlin would be my other pick.

I agree Juan, no need for that. If medal count could have got second it would have been a good day, oh well that's horse racing. Chung dead heat for fourth.

Chung, he ranted about how horses who don't run in the other two triple crown races how they get into the Belmont fresh. He could have a point,but not something you air o ut after your horse has lost on national TV.

Agreed, sorry, you do not make the rules, and fresh horses will always run in the Belmont, and I am with the other guy, if Medal Count could have gotten up for 2nd, I would be in fat city...oh well, back to the poor house
