LAZ. Remember when we discussed at what point geldings were permitted to run in the JCGC, it looks like 1958 as a gelding ran. Civet was third to Inside Tract.

My picks are Palace Malice and Flat Out. The way Cross Traffic crawled home is a big indicator to me that he will be fading terribly in the stretch. I don't believe he'll win. Too many entrants have the energy distribution, and proven it, to go 10f. Cross Traffic will get the lead, quite easily, which will be to his advantage and therefore should not be left out of exotics. I'll leave him out of my top spot. He'll be pressed by both Palace Malice and Alpha. Palace Malice's last race footnotes say "stumbled start; 5w stretch". He was down 2 1/2 in the stretch and lost by less than a length. He dropped 8 lengths back at one point. If he gets a clean break, he'll be able to distribute his energy better to go 10f. He should have won the Travers, and would have if not for the break, so I expect him to win. Alpha is interesting. I'm tempted to say his Woodward effort was in result to the slop, or maybe it was the blinkers? History tells me not to exclude him. I've left out Kmac FTB's and STB's, and I'm not making the mistake again. Flat Out, who is my second choice, loves Belmont Park (5 for 6) and is at the top of his game. Overall, I'll go with Palace Malice- Flat Out- Orb- Cross Traffic. Alpha is a "win or not hit" type of horse, who should be included. Flat Out, Orb and the Malice will all crack the Top 4 for sure. Statistically speaking, Palace Malice is the best horse with the best numbers with the best form. Cross Traffic, believe it or not, according to statistics, should not win here. Also like the "horse for the course" method. Flat Out and Palace Malice both fit. Palace Malice's last five races, statistically, have been improvements. I think if he continues his uptrend and gets a good break, it'll be a race for sexond. Flat Out will be there, for sure, though. For the Beldame, I actually like Princess of Sylmar, but I won't bet on that race.

does anyone know if Super Saturday will be televised?

My goodness this is a very awesome race heating up, kind of hard to discount any.

This is the obvious next big Stakes race on everones radar.Let us for 1 minute imagine there was a time machine besides us. WE can go back in history to see only one race live.I will put in 1 stipulation.Secreteriats Belmont is off limits and cannot be used. Not that i have anything agaist that race,just think that might be the overwhelming front runner.All aboard!!!

It was and is one of the very greatest races ever run due to the historic field & how it played out.
