6/9: Belmont Stakes Day

[Kasept]

Solid card on tap for Belmont Day, though getting prices on top may be challenging.. $1,000,000 guarantees on P6, P4 and a number of marquee horses on view for what has dawned as a heavily overcast day.. Apologies for a less-than-detailed analysis below, but it's been a rather full week.. Enjoy the end of the Triple Crown season..
