*UPDATED* Belmont Stakes- 6/9 Race 11 Belmont Park

Since the terrible news came out today that I’ll Have Another will not run and is being retired, below are our new Belmont Stakes picks.

Kelly’s pick-

5- Dullahan  I love that he’s in the 5 spot & feel he is the best horse for the mile and a half distance and he will get the upset. I’m putting money on him to win it all. *Now that I’ll have another is out, Dullahan is the fav of course. I’m gonna add him to my trifecta but hope that he comes in 3rd so I get paid better!

3-Union Rags as much as I don’t want the 3 favs to win it I feel strongly this will be the 3rd leg of my trifecta box. 

9-Paynter- I got accused on Twitter of only liking the favorites, but I can’t help it! I’d love these horses even if they were 50-1.

Long shot- 2-Unstoppable U this horse reminds me of my thoughts about I’ll have another before the Derby. “Damn I don’t know much about this horse but for some reason I like him”. He  is 2/2 in his past races, but he’s never run the 1.5 mile before, but hey none of these horses have.

Marlana’s pick-

4- Union Rags – This horse had the best closing time in the Derby, with a better trip he may have won. I think he will get the win this time.

3- Atigun -My longshot to finish in the top 3. Love the jockey and the odds at 30-1. With I’ll Have Another scratched I’m sure the odds will go down but I still love him. Also, don’t forget Julian Leparoux was the jockey on Union Rags in the Derby and was taken off. This could be his chance for revenge.

5- Dullahan - He will probably end up being the favorite, but for good reason. He has been working out great and looks ready for this race. I don’t think he’ll win but I have him in the Trifecta.

12- My Adonis This is my other longshot bet at 20-1. Not crazy about his post, but he’s had a few good races this year and I could see him finish in the top 4.
