I like both his horses in the Belmont.

As a sire he\'s churned out plenty of 12f winners.
Something like 17 of his sons and daughters are stakes winners at the distance.

Destin should have a no excuse trip saving ground off the speed with the five weeks that Pletcher prefers.He broke his maiden at Belmont with an inside trip so no problem being down near the fence.Ground saving 0-1 should be good on Saturday.

Brody\'s Cause comes in off slower pairs with an outside post but it might be time for him to move forward like:

2015 Keen Ice 3 pts
2014 Commissioner 3 pts
2013 Palace Malice 4.25 pts
2012 Atigun 2.5 pts
2011 Ruler on Ice 2.75 pts
2010 Drosselmeyer 2.75 pts


He\'ll be more forwardly placed than any of the other closers so ground loss might not be all that bad.In the Derby he was a lot closer to the pace for the first four furlongs than SBNS,Trojan Nation,Lani,Exaggerator and Creator.

Off the last 3f work and with Gettysburg spreading the field some into the turn I can see him getting off 6th maybe 7th.Tricky post but maybe Saez can limit the ground loss and he has better bottom side distance breeding IMO than Destin.

I might be hallucinating again but I see both in the money.

I don\'t think you are.

Besides the sheet on BC and potential jump up at a huge price (no one likes him) I recall a post from Mjellish after the Blue Grass regarding the colt\'s behavior. BC listens to his rider and has the ability to navigate through  traffic.

Huge shot to get in the 2 hole IMO with strong early pace likely.

Good Luck,
