Now that the first sports event of the day is done (congratulations to Ms. Kuznetsova!), attention can move on to today's racing at Belmont Park. This year's races have been exciting, and this year's 3 year-olds are strong, so I expect I'll be watching. But I don't think I can pick a favorite. The ten runners include two sons of Belmont winner Birdstone (Mine That Bird and Summer Bird), Charitable Man (a son of Belmont winner Lemon Drop Kid) who won the Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park four weeks ago, Chocolate Candy and Dunkirk who were attracting a lot attention before the Kentucky Derby, Flying Private, a son of Fusaichi Pegasus who has been attracting more and more attention the last few weeks, and Mr. Hot Stuff, a gorgeous son of Tiznow. With so many quality horses running a length they've never run before and will likely never run again, it's hard to pick a winner. But it should make for a good race.
