Contrary to earlier weather forecasts, it is appearing as if the rain chances for the 2015 Belmont Stakes have diminished to 10 percent.
Early reports suggested a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms, which would certainly have benefitted favorite American Pharoah.
His margin of victory in the 1 3/16th-mile Preakness on the muddy track amidst pouring rain was the largest since Smarty Jones won by a record 11 ¹/₂ lengths in 2004.
For this year’s Belmont Stakes race one should focus on horses that run well on dirt as opposed to any turf favoring contenders.
