Belmont Stakes 2018 Prediction - Justify for the WIN and the TRIPLE CROWN - Who Do You Pick?
Belmont Stakes 2018 Prediction - Justify for the WIN and the TRIPLE CROWN
The Belmont Stakes 2018 is June 9, 2018. My pick to win is Justify.
Justify
Justify won the Kentucky Derby by 2.5 lengths. Justify won the Preakness Stakes by a closer margin.
Next up is the Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown and a place in history.
Justify is undefeated in five starts. Following a win at the Belmont Stakes, Justify will win the Triple Crown and remain undefeated. Only Seattle Slew, the 1977 Triple Crown winner, has the honor of winning the Triple Crown and remaining undefeated.
Justify looks good. He has run well in the sloppiness of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. However, hopefully Justify will have his chance to run on a clear track at the Belmont Stakes. Justify will show more on a clear track at Belmont than what he showed at those other tracks under sloppy conditions.
The 150th Running of the Belmont Stakes
The Belmont Stakes is scheduled to run at approximately 6:46 p.m
The weather forecast predicts the weather to be cloudy with some chance of rain. Everybody would love to see clear weather and a fast track.

The Prediction
At the Preakness Stakes, Justify was racing neck and neck against Good Magic throughout the race. Toward the end, Bravazo and Tenfold came on strong.
On a clear track, Justify will blow out of the gates and lead uncontested throughout the race and finish ahead multiple lengths.
Out of these horses, Bravazo and Hofburg could run together chasing Justify from the start. Tenfold and Vino Rosso could also put on a show.
The race for second place will go to Hofburg with Bravazo close for third.
Who do think will win the 2018 Belmont Stakes?

Good Call on Justify WIN
Bravazo
The Belmont is a longer length with a distance of 1½ miles (12 furlongs), compared to the Kentucky Derby(10 furlongs) and the Preakness(9.5 furlongs). At the Preakness, Bravazo looked like he could have caught Justify if the distance was a little longer. This distance may prove to be an advantage for Bravazo.
Hofburg
Hofburg has some good odds. However, he finished 7th behind Bravazo in the Kentucky Derby. I think Hofburg won't catch Justify but will beat Bravazo this time.
Now there is no speed in the race, since they did not sign Good Magic. Justify will run at will at the tip and in the final 300 will be limited to galloping the Belmont State. My selection is Justify.
Justify is the favorite and a good choice. Good Magic kept Justify at a fast pace at the Preakness Stakes.
Vino Rosso
Tenfold and Vino Rosso could bolt out of the gates together and set a fast pace. They have an outside chance to spoil the party for Justify.

Justify will be the new triple crowned North American, in the second place will come Vino Rosso @goldkey.
Justify is the favorite and should get the Triple Crown. I agree.
Hofburg.
Another selection of Hofburg. . . I wonder if the bettors are thinking the same. I wonder if the odds improve for Hofburg.
Looks like there is a chance of rain for the afternoon, a definite advantage for Justify. Otherwise, he is undefeated........Looking forward to the race.
I hope the rain stays away and the track stays fast.
