Title: Belmont 7&9

*** Vosburgh

His line hardly inspires confidence - but at 7-1 or better I\'m going to take a shot that Voodoo can run two efforts in a row . He was third in last years race with some trouble.
I may be wrong but I think that some of his past off races have some legitimate reasons -off surface , wrong distance , tough pace match-up .
 There does not appear to be much early pace here - which should help him secure a good trip.
Also , Gygistar could encounter a tricky trip from the fence .

*** Turf Classic

Lunar Sovereign could rate a slight overlay at 7-2 or better . Loves the course - big final and late pace number last race .

The Vosburgh is a wide open race. On paper, there does not appear to be a dominant speed type, which makes ground loss projections much more problematic. Nor is there a figure stickout. Quick a few are within a point or two on their best. Tough race. Good luck.
