The 2022 Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike, reappears in the third leg of the Triple Crown races. This race comes up very light on speed making it intriguing. Speed numbers are fairly close with only three hitting a triple-digit Beyer. It is anyone's race. This promises to be a very superb running of the Belmont.

#4 Rich Strike (Leon / E. Reed) should be able to eek out a victory. He holds the second highest last out speed number and has put in two excellent workouts. This guy appears to be well rested and ready to run. Expect his closing style to be in full power. A son of Keen Ice, distance will not be a problem. This millionaire has a 62% in the money record.

$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#6 Mo Donegal (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) will pose a mighty challenge with his tracking/closing style as he gets first jump on the pace setters. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number and three strong peaking workouts. A son of Uncle Mo, he is 83% in the money from six career starts.

$1 PLACE  /  $2 SHOW.
