National Treasure ended Mage’s shot at Triple Crown glory when the Bob Baffert trained runner went gate-to-wire in this past Saturday’s Preakness Stakes. But although no Triple Crown will be on the line at the Belmont in three weeks, connections for 14 runners plan on entering the 1 ½ mile Test of Champions.

Preakness Winner National Treasure and Undefeated Forte Will Head to Belmont the Chalks
If undefeated 2-year-old champion Forte runs, the Todd Pletcher trained Violence sired 3-year-old will go off the favorite. Forte is a proven commodity and Pletcher has won at Belmont.
Following Forte in the odds will be the Preakness winner. Baffert finally got National Treasure to learn how to relax on the lead. Jockey John Velasquez was fantastic aboard the Preakness winner on Saturday.
Angel of Empire, the Brad Cox trained third-place Kentucky Derby finisher, should go off third-choice. With a better trip on the first Saturday in May, Angel may have won the roses.
Betting Pick: National Treasure or Undefeated Forte | Bet Belmont Stakes to Win

Bob Baffert trained Arabian Lion Could Be Special
If you wish to back a horse that could fly under the radar leading up to the Belmont, look no further than Baffert trained Arabian Lion.
The Justify sired runner from a Distorted Humor mare, Unbound, finished second to First Mission in the Grade 3 Lexington in April. If First Mission hadn’t scratched, the Cox runner may have gone off the chalk in the Preakness.
Arabian Lion dominated a good horse in Tapit’s Conquest in the Sir Barton on the Preakness undercard. The Baffert runner has the breeding, the speed, and the stamina to be a player in the Belmont.
Betting Pick: Arabian Lion | Bet Belmont Stakes to Win

Tapit Trice Could End Up the Race’s Biggest Underlay
Sire Tapit has produced more Belmont Stakes winners than any other sire. Tapit Trice trainer Todd Pletcher saddled one of those Test of Champions winners, Tapwrit.
Pletcher believes Tapit Trice can win the Belmont Stakes. So will a lot of horseplayers. But Tapit Trice showed nothing in the Derby, finishing seventh, after running well to win 2 Kentucky Derby preps.
It’s going to be hard for Tapit Trice to bounce back from the Derby performance and win the run for the roses. If you truly believe, by all means, go for it.
But if you have any doubt, make sure the odds are fair. Based on our predictions, Tapit Trice should offer about 6-to-1 to win the Belmont Stakes. +600 would make Tapit Trice an underlay.
Betting Pick: Tapit Trice | Bet Belmont Stakes to Win
