Analysis: The 155th Belmont Stakes won’t have a Triple Crown on the line but the nine-horse field still includes a few notable storylines. Here's what to know:
On paper, Il Miracolo looks like a throw out. He’s been beaten by double-digit lengths in the Grade III Holy Bull Stakes, Grade II Fountain of Youth Stakes and Grade I Florida Derby. When asked at the draw why Il Miracolo was in this race after so many disappointing performances on the Triple Crown trail,The odds are long, but maybe not once-in-a-lifetime long.
Il Miracolo’s pedigree matches up perfectly with previous Belmont Stakes winners in terms of speed-to-stamina ratio, and he has an influx of even more stamina from the dam side of his pedigree. As an added bonus, his maternal grandsire is Tapit, who, as mentioned, is one of the most influential sires this leg of the Triple Crown has ever seen. He’s a live long shot for the back end of exotic bets.
