The Belmont Stakes will be on June 6th at Belmont Park in New York City. It looks like we may get a showdown between Kentucky Derby winner and Preakness runner-up Mine That Bird and Preakness and Kentucky Oaks winning filly Rachel Alexandra, but they are currently undecided about her. Check out who is planning to come with profiles and photos.

Mine That Bird will win today. Filly Rachel is awesome but doesn’t have the strength to go the mile and a half.

Hope your not betting today genius, Alex isn’t running.

Nick I agree with you 100%. I say there is a big upset today, Looking at Brave Victory.

Pam is right. IF the Preakness would have been 1/10 of a mile longer Rache would have been second….. and we would be looking at a triple crown possibilty today.

Nick, you are not a jockey, not an agent, and probably not on the backside at all. To get the money you have to win. To win you have to ride the best horse. “nuff said.

I agree with HMJA.being a jockey is a job and you get paid for doing the job. In this case the best gets the most, and well— You saw the race. To the winner go the s[oils.
