Here it is, the final leg of the U.S. Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes going at 1 1/2 mile on the dirt at Belmont, New York next Saturday, the 5th of June. Smarty Jones will win another $5 M bonus if he wins this one, and be the first to win all 3 Triple Crown races in 26 years.( Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont) Here are the past performances odf the probable starters.

I like the Smarty Jones/ Purge quinella.

Glenn

would love to see Smarty Jones win the triple crown after reading about he's fairytale story, and a win would almost certainly garauntee us of another great hollywood movie involving the sport of Kings. Glenn, do you know of a site i can watch the race or listen to the race live from.

Cheers ED

You can sign up for a membership with you-bet.com and watch it there. Deposit no money, but they'll let you have 10 or so hours of video without a wager. Your computer will have to be on broadband(cable, DSL or satellite) to watch it, however.

Thanks Glenn, will do

Here's the official website of the Belmont Stakes - some good reads.

Was impressed with Rock Hard Ten in the Preakness although well beaten by Smarty.

Currently showing 8/1, with Smarty Jones odds-on.

i like (in order)

PURGE
ROCK HARD TEN
SMARTY JONES

I am going to play a triple with Smarty Jones keyed over Birdstone, Rock Hard Ten, Purge and Eddington.
