Triple Crown/Belmont thoughts?

Interested in hearing thoughts on AP's chances on taking the Belmont. I'm kind of surprised at the -125 prices (must start) I am seeing at a few sportsbooks. Figured he would be priced at -200 or so.

    Yeah. Even if it's not the fair odds, it certainly seems like books could get plenty of action at -150 or higher.

    Thanks for everything.

    I was 15 back in 1978, when Steve Cauthen won the triple crown! June 6 will be my 52nd B-day!
    73-77-78, could it be 4 triples in my life-time. I hope he wins, but I doubt it! 3 races in 5 weeks
    just a little too much!

    Anyone know how frosted is doing? He should have a great chance to pass AP down the lane.

    I think if materiality shoots for the lead , thats best case scenerio for AP bc i feel he is his biggest competition. Im not sure what frammento like to do , and im sure carpe diem would love to be up front just off the pace , so you get AP and CD Both tracking then AP should blew them away, if AP tries to wire then i think frosted is a good choice...

    AP is the freshest horse to go for the TC in a long time. The KY Derby was his first real race as a 3 year old. Preakness couldn't have taken a ton out of him. Distance doesn't seem to be an issue. If Materiality is really his biggest threat, the -120 prices seem easy.
