So tomorrow is the Belmont Stakes, the final jewel of the Triple Crown. There really isn’t much of a storyline here because there will not a be a Triple Crown winner. Boo hoo.

However, that doesn’t mean that the race is pointless. After all, you do like money right? And the Belmont Stakes is the perfect race to make money on because the shit will hit the fan. It’s just what happens year after year, and especially when you have such a horrible crop of three year old horses as this year.

So I’ll get right to the point. I’m placing one bet and one bet only, then I’m going to drink as much beer as I can before they increase the booze tax.

My winning lottery ticket will be a $1 superfecta box of 1-2-4-10. For those of you who want my reasoning, click on through…

(1) Chocolate Candy – It’s freakin’ Jenny Craigs horse. Yes, that Jenny Craig.
(2) Dunkirk - Well rested and has the speed. Pletcher will give this horse a big slap on the ass to get him to rebound from a shitty Derby performance.
(4) Summer Bird – Yes, Summer Bird not Mine That Bird. The blinkers on son of Birdstone will leave everyone shouting WTF.
(10) Brave Victory – Robert LaPenta has Miner’s Escape in this race to pave the way for Brave Victory to pick off horse in the stretch.
