Will Take Charge Vyjack Palace Malice Unlimited Budget Golden Soul Jon Court Julien Leparoux Mike Smith Rosie Napravnik Robby Albarado 20-1 20-1 15-1 8-1 10-1 The Belmont Stakes PP HORSE TRAINER JOCKEY ODDS TIM WILKIN SAYS 1. Frac Daddy Ken McPeek Alan Garcia 30-1 Trainer shocked 2002 Belmont with Sarava; don’t see an upset here. 2. Freedom Child Tom Albertrani Luis Saez 8-1 Romped to 13-length win in slop in Peter Pan, but didn’t face much in that one. 3. Overanalyze Todd Pletcher John Velazquez 12-1 Wins every other start; if that’s the case, he wins today. 4. Giant Finish Tony Dutrow Edgar Prado 30-1 Trainer wasn’t wild about running in Derby; doesn’t sound like he wants to run here, either. 5. Orb Shug McGaughey Joel Rosario 3-1 The best horse; have to keep him in the mix, but taking stand against on win end. 6. Incognito Kiaran McLaughlin Irad Ortiz Jr 20-1 Fifth in Peter Pan; barn not here for the free lunch, but this one is in deep. 7. Oxbow D. Wayne Lukas Gary Stevens 5-1 Crawled to win Preakness; should like the distance, but not expecting another upset. 8. Midnight Taboo Todd Pletcher Garrett Gomez 30-1 No stakes experience, one win; this one would be a major, major surprise. 9. Revolutionary Todd Pletcher Javier Castellano 9-2 Has never not hit the board; don’t know if late run will be good enough. 10 Will Take Charge D. Wayne Lukas Jon Court 20-1 This is the Lukas runner that interests me; big colt should appreciate big Belmont. 11. Vyjack Rudy Rodriguez Julien Leparoux 20-1 Would be tempted to use him if Belmont were run at Aqueduct. 12. Palace Malice Todd Pletcher Mike Smith 15-1 Blinkers weren’t a good idea in Derby; will run better here. 13. Unlimited Budget Todd Pletcher Rosie Napravnik 8-1 Every woman at Belmont will be cheering for Rosie and the filly; don’t think filly is good enough. 14. Golden Soul Dallas Stewart Robby Albarado 10-1 Not been seen since surprising second in Derby; he’ll have to show me one more time..
