So who are you rooting for in the Belmont Stakes with Nyquist out? Cherrywine or Exaggerator or some one else???

At this point Exaggerator will be the favourite. I wouldn't mind if he won. I also really like Suddenbreakingnews - has a great pedigree, and I love the way he runs.

I think that Lani has a good chance this time. He was running fast at the end in the Preakness.

Suddenbreakingnews - will not have the traffic issues. Price?

I expect one of the locally-based jockeys to win, like Castellano, Ortiz, or Velazquez. Familiarity with that racecourse is important, and I doubt Quinonez has ridden there much, if at all. Same thing for Take.
Jockey switch could be what puts either Lani or News in the winner's circle, iMo

Creator has a rider change, with Irad Ortiz Jr. in the irons. I remember seeing that the other day...
