Looks like this race is Orb's to take this time unless there is another conspiracy to pin him against the rail while the rest of the field pulls away like the Preakness.
That's why I have confidence Orb should do well. He showed no signs of slowing at the Derby and just didn't have enough distance to catch up after they pinned him to the rail.
I would have even put money on Mylute to place or show in the Belmont since both previous races he was pushing the pace at the end. Surprised to see he won't be racing the Belmont.
Revolutionary barely withstood the pace toward the end of the derby, will he have enough to finish strong at Belmont?
I am curious about the filly in the race. The female jockey who rode Mylute is riding her. Could be an interesting story. The owner is supposed to be a Belmont junkie being from NY.
