Bettor's Edge

By Jeremy Plonk

A dismal 18th in the Kentucky Derby, his backers will have to lean on potential excuses from the sloppy track and wide post draw in forgiveness. The Louisiana Derby runner-up has yet to win in 3 stakes bids and hasn’t scored beyond 1 mile and 40 yards, a trip some 840 yards shorter than the Belmont. But trainer Todd Pletcher has 3 Belmont Stakes victories and dam Zaftig was unbeaten over this main track while winning the 7-furlong Nassau County and 1-mile Acorn in 2008. Sire Hard Spun was beaten 11 lengths while fourth of 7 in the 2007 Belmont Stakes, following a second in the Derby and third in the Preakness. Jockey Javier Castellano seeks his first Belmont Stakes win after a trio of runner-up performances aboard prior Pletcher trainees Destin, Commissioner and Stay Thirsty.
