10 Brave Victory R. Maragh N. Zito 15-1

Hey all, take this for what it's worth. I'm am going with Summer Bird to win the Belmont Stakes Sat. Here's why:

Summer Bird was 3rd in the Arkansas Derby while gaining some ground to the winner Papa Clem (who by the way is a great horse). Summer Bird was 6th in the Kentucky Derby off of a shitty trip and a shitty jockey. He still managed 6th coming down the lane while 8 wide. We all know that Birdstone beat Smarty Jones in the 2004 Belmont. He has 2 sons that are racing in the Belmont. Mine That Bird and Summer Bird. We all know who Mine That Bird is. Summer Bird is just like his dad, took a break from the Preakness and is fresh and ready to go in the Belmont. Because Calvin Borel is so confident that he will win the Belmont with Mine That Bird, that gives me all the reasons to think that he won't. Look for a fresh Summer Bird (with Kent D riding!!!) to nip his brother at the wire. Also be aware of Charitable Man.

Order of Finish

#4 Summer Bird
#7 Mine That Bird
#6 Charitable Man

Good Luck All!!!!
