Has anybody watched that round table (well, I guess 3 people constitutes a round table) on Bloodhorse about this year's Belmont? About halfway through I felt like I was watching Kentucky Derby pre-race commentary from 1995. Dosage?

13 in that field, but a race I hadn't seen on video before:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1immmAJSubw

http://news.google.com/newspapers?ni...g=5443,1948469

Some interesting stats in those newspaper clippings:
- It was the first time the Derby winner skipped the Belmont since 1970; and
- Largest field for the Belmont was 14 in 1875

I think I'm going to favor the early speed types, even with a large field.

Grabbing disease is everywhere. Even if it isn't, Oxbow is a tough horse and the pace will not be as fast as the Derby.

It will certainly be in the Pick 4 if the prospective field enters.

FYI, it has been in the Pick 4 9 of the last 10 years, with the only exception being 2010. That running had a field of five.
