Here’s A Closer Look At The 2017 Belmont Stakes Dark Horses And Longshots
Twisted Tom (20-1)
There is a lot of speed in this race, and drawing the inside post is certainly a nice bit of luck for this horse. Twisted Tom is stepping up in class to race with these horses, but he has always run well at the NYRA tracks, and his breeding suggests that the distance may not be too big of a deal for him. I’m not convinced that he can actually win this race, but getting into the money may not be totally out of the question.Tapwrit (6-1)
It’s hard to consider a horse who is the 4th favorite as a dark horse, but there are a lot of bettors looking at other runners besides him. Tapwrit is well rested after a decent 6th place finish at the Kentucky Derby, and by all accounts is working out very nicely on the Belmont track. I actually like this horse ahead of a couple of the others with lower odds.![Senior Investment (12-1)](https://cdn.mybookie.ag/wp-content/uploads/JUN-08-2017-Belmont-Stakes-Dark-Horses-And-Longshots-02.jpg)
