1) Inside Straight (15-1) – This four-year-old son of Super Saver is a true unknown quantity. I’m not sure he is ready to make the same splash that Runhappy, also by Super Saver, made when he arrived in New York for the King’s Bishop of 2015, but color me intrigued. This New York-bred has won 7-of-20 all over North America, and he’s clearly in career best form. His last two at Oaklawn Park are very good, including a good looking win in the Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap. I think he’s turned the corner, and he’s working well at Belmont. A far-turn move from the middle of the pack could give him a real chance at a price. Improving Longshot

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren’t enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
