This is not a handicapping thread!
I'm not seeing too many strong opinions for the Belmont and was wondering... not who you're looking at or using on top but is there someone you're rooting for?
I keep looking at pp's and my eyes are starting to glaze over but I have one (rooting interest). I will, of course, let someone else go first. Who do you hope wins and why?

Shackelford - for Rootdog
Stay Thirsty - for my own entertainment, because the fallout around here would probably be pretty entertaining (and comical).

Stay Thirsty... so he can shut the haters the hell up and because he was always the second banana, the afterthought, the younger sibling (you know what I mean).
Mainly for the first reason though.

I'll yell for AK or Shack, and would be happy to see either win. Not only because it might be "good for the sport"
 but because I would like to see a dominant 3YO or pair of 3YOs for the year. Imagine if they finish 1-2 and continue to face off against each other. If not those two, then I'll be happy if Mucho Macho Man or Brilliant Speed manages to pull it off. MMM because he's been well-campaigned for a (not even yet) 3YO and it seems he just can't catch a break, and BS because of his breeding and connections (and I'm a big fan of Dynaformer).OldDog's getting excited!

Nehro, because he's been bridesmaid so many times.

Animal Kingdom, both to keep BI in the spotlight and to get the comical reactions to him on here.

Monzon, because of the sire, the breeder and state pride.

That Shak horse, cause, I think it would be a fitting honor for the recently retired Shaq.

I'd like to see Animal Kingdom, Mucho Macho Man, and Shackleford finish in a trifecta (no specific order). They're the only 3 who ran in all 3 TC races and I give the horses, owners, and trainers kudos for that.
