Geoff Schwartz Win, Place and Present consequence
Though Journalism has been the stronger horse general — successful 5 of his seven profession begins, together with the Preakness Stakes — I like Sovereignty to win the Belmont Stakes and pull off the uncommon Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes wins in the identical 12 months. Sovereignty is well-rested after skipping the Preakness to concentrate on this race. His closing skill was evident within the Derby, the place he rallied from sixteenth all the way in which to the roses. The shorter distance of this present ought to profit Sovereignty over Journalism, who wanted a tremendous run within the ultimate 3/16 to win the Preakness.
My decide is Sovereignty.
PICK: Sovereignty to win, Journalism to put, Baeza to point out
