The third leg of the triple crown is upon us, and the culmination of the tough, 3 year old series of races, the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes will be run tomorrow at Belmont Park. Will it be the gritty, possible lone speed Shackleford, who won the Preakness, or will it be the fast closing, consistent Animal Kingdom, winner of the Derby, in the winners circle? Or perhaps a rested Derby runner will be the one who comes out victorious in the grueling 1 1/2 mile Belmont Stakes. Here are the horses in post position order.
#1 Master of Hounds 5th beaten 5 1/2 lengths in the G1 Ky Derby
#2 Stay Thirsty 12th beaten 11 1/4 lengths in the G1 Ky Derby
#3 Ruler on Ice 2nd beaten 2 lengths in the Frederico Tesio
#4 Santiva 6th beaten 5 1/2 lengths in the G1 Ky Derby
#5 Brilliant Speed 7th beaten 5 1/2 lengths in the G1 Ky Derby
#6 Nehro 2nd beaten 2 3/4 lengths in the G1 Ky Derby
#7 Monzon 6th beaten 7 3/4 lengths in the G2 Peter Pan
#8 Prime Cut 3rd beaten 4 1/2 lengths in the G2 Peter Pan
#9 Animal Kingdom 2nd beaten 1/2 length in the G1 Preakness
#10 Mucho Macho Man 6th beaten 7 1/2 lengths in the G1 Preakness
#11 Isn't He Perfect 9th beaten 11 1/4 lengths in the G1 Preakness
#12 Shackleford Won by 1/2 length in the G1 Preakness
It looks like a great line up, and we'll hope for a safe trip for all of the connections. See you in the winners circle tomorrow. Good luck to all!
