The way I see it there are two ways to make money on the Belmont this year-- apart from correctly guessing a longshot that is. Plan A is to suss out the likely Show horse and box it in a trifecta with Afleet Alex and Giacamo. I don't know what Plan B is: I suppose one could buy trifecta tickets with the two likely winners and the rest of the field, but that's a Pete Rose sort of move in my book-- if gambling is going to be fun, it should convince you that you are lucky, or smart, or both. I'm taking Chekhov as my third horse. We'll see how smart and lucky I can be.
