Only 3 carried over from derby and #2 - #6 dropped out. 70% are new horses.

A short field and Commanding Curve and Danza are skipping it.

Interesting that Motion has one in the race.

I guess it is about time to start crunching numbers.
Edit: don't want to show our hand too early and adversely affect the odds with the world watching and all.

May edit by post time but top 5 appear to be:
(1) California Chrome
(2) Social Inclusion
(3) Ride on Curlin
(4) Dynamic Impact
(5) Kid Cruz
DRF analysis LINK
Predicteform analysis has California Chrome as the obvious favorite, Social Inclusion as a true contender, Ride on Curlin and Kid Cruz as fringe contenders, and Dynamic Impact as a regressor. LINK

Excellent call! I had a tri key box and exacta key box with California Chrome on top as the key horse and Social Inclusion, Ride on Curlin and Dynamic Impact in the box. The $1 tri paid $38. No big payday as the top 3 were all contenders going in but a payday nonetheless.

While California Chrome looks unstoppable the 1 1/2 mile Belmont has played a Triple Crown spoiler in the past. The question will be whether there will be a closer that can catch him with the added distance. Ride on Curlin might very well run him down in the long stretch but we'll need to see who all gets in.

This was a 2 horse race and the 2nd horse was closing but chrome looked like there was something left in the tank. Pretty sure the next will not be triple crown winner with that many sitting out and resting today.That first part was a great ride by the jock getting the good early break.

Ride On Curlin was closing fast and it was hard to tell whether he had contact with Social Inclusion coming down the stretch. I think he's capable of winning the Belmont but as you note we'll see what fresh horses show up.

I will bet against CC in the Belmont just because of history. But I would love to be wrong.

My exact thought process. Also, the odds on CC in the Belmont will be miserable. Even worse than the Preakness. Might be worth your money to throw in on a long shot, since they have regularly performed pretty well in the Belmont.
