DRF handicappers Dan Illman, Marcus Hersh, and Mike Beer discussed the Belmont Stakes live from 5 to 6 p.m. Eastern. Selected highlights from the chat:
BeerAtDRF: I can use Brilliant Speed only because he didn't have the best closer's trip in the Derby. I would want over 20/1 odds though.
DRF_DanIllman: I can't give you a good reason to bet Brilliant Speed.
DRF_DanIllman: I'm chalking out. Animal Kingdom, Shackleford, Nehro
It takes a supremely fit and durable racehorse to win the Belmont Stakes -- especially when a sweep of the Triple Crown is pending. But no other race in America places so much emphasis on the courage, talent, and judgment of the men and women who daringly risk their lives to ride Thoroughbreds for a living.
