Looking for a Long Shot: My Belmont Predictions

Over Analyze

I whiffed on the Kentucky Derby and caught lightning in a bottle at the Preakness.

Let’s see if I can do it again.

All eyes are on Orb and Oxbow, the winners of the first two legs of the Triple Crown.  Those two horses are likely to be heavy betting favorites in the Belmont.  And according to my model, they look okay, but not attractive at the odds they will go off at.

Instead, my numbers suggest a trio of long shots are the place to put your money: Palace Malice, Overanalyze, and Golden Soul.  Each of those horses should pay about 15-1 if they were to pull off an upset victory.

There are three other long shots I would not touch with a ten-foot pole: Midnight Taboo, Giant Finish, and Incognito.
