THE BELMONT: Curlin box with Hard Spun and Rags in trifecta, and variations thereof. Do not doubt the filly's ability to hit the board, and all others are outclassed. I do not doubt Hard Spun's chances now that Pino has been tossed for a top jockey. Curlin deserves to be the favorite. This is the weakest field in many years.
Hard Spun's 4th finish ruined our trifecta ticket.
