He is in New York too, at least for a little while. He has no horses in the Belmont. He's not allowed at NY tracks for the time being. Well, after something like 5 or 6 of his horses had failed drug tests since 2020, what should he expect? Anyhow, let's see if I can do better with my picks for the Belmont. Here goes nothing.
1st- Known Agenda
2nd- Hot Rod Charlie
3rd- Rombauer

The Ogden Phipps Stakes is part of the Belmont undercard. I think post time is at 2:18 pm. It'll probably be on TVG or some other sports channel. Swiss Skydiver, Shedaresthedevil & that horse that barely beat Monomy Girl (Lariska or something) will be in this race.

Like the Preakness, NBCSN will televise most of the Belmont race card with some of the races being more exciting than the main event. I haven't had time to post a couple of the races before the Preakness and will get around to it, 'cause they were exciting.
I think Bob Baffert will be going the way D. Wayne Lucas went. Lucas had the best horses and won all the big races for many years until the racing authorities started finding many of his horses were on drugs. I'm sure those horses' owners didn't like their horses being suspended for a few races and Lucas started loosing the big-name horses being taken to other trainers.
Not a very large field of horses so everyone should have a fair chance. Still need to think on this.

Watched some of the Friday racing card at Belmont. It rained most of the day so it looks like the track will be OK but not great.
NBCSP will cover the races before the Belmont starting at 2 p.m. (cst time) to 4 p.m, then the broadcast moves to NBC from 4 to 6 p.m.
Since the field is so wide open and equal, I'll close my eyes and pick a longshot to win:
1. Overtook 2. Known Agenda 3. Essential Quality
