- Belmont Stakes runs Saturday at Saratoga — Kentucky Derby surprise winner Golden Tempo (23/1 in the Derby) returns but is only 9/2 on the morning line and oddsmaker Johnny Avello questions whether the race setup suits him.
- Renegade is the 2/1 favorite with Chief Wallabee close at 3/1; both skipped the Preakness and are expected to attract the most money, though Avello slightly prefers Chief Wallabee and flags Emerging Market as a potential "wiseguy" play.
- Long-shot chatter: Growth Equity is the suggested dark-horse at 12/1 (Powershift also 12/1), with Ottinho and Vitruvian Man further down the board.
