2012 Belmont Stakes field

Post Time: Saturday, June 9, 6:35 p.m., NBC

	Andrew Beyer's Analysis	Odds
1. Street Life Trainer: Chad Brown Jockey: Jose Lezcano	Probably not good enough, but fast finisher does have good bloodlines for the Belmont distance.	12-1 BSF: 93
2. Unstoppable U Trainer: Ken McPeek Jockey: Junior Alvarado	Unbeaten in two career starts--but two career starts aren't sufficient preparation for the Belmont.	30-1 BSF: 82
3. Union Rags Trainer: Michael Matz Jockey: John Velazquez	After trouble-filled trips in Florida and Kentucky Derbies, talented colt can only do better with John Velazquez replacing Julien Leparoux. The Derby-to-Belmont route	6-1 BSF: 95
4. Atigun Trainer: Ken McPeek Jockey: Julien Leparoux	Never won a stakes and appears overmatched, but trainer pulled a 70-to-1 Belmont shocker in '02 with Sarava.	30-1 BSF: 89
5. Dullahan Trainer: Dale Romans Jockey: Javier Castellano	Third-place Derby finisher worked four furlongs in an eye-catching 45.97 seconds at Belmont. "When he works like that, he runs big," trainer Dale Romans said. Dale Romans: A rising star The Derby-to-Belmont route	5-1 BSF: 98
6. Ravelo's Boy Trainer: Manuel Azpurua Jockey: Alex Solis	Hasn't raced since 5th-place finish in Tampa Bay Derby March 10 and doesn't belong in this race.	50-1 BSF: 80
7. Five Sixteen Trainer: Dominick Schettino Jockey: Rosie Napravnik	Only win came in a slow maiden race. What's he doing here?	50-1 BSF: 78
8. Guyana Star Dweej Trainer: Doodnauth Shivmangal Jockey: Kent Desormeaux	After abortive workout last week, rider said: "He just didn't want to work." Not a good sign for ex-$25,000 claimer shooting for the moon.	50-1 BSF: 84
9. Paynter Trainer: Bob Baffert Jockey: Mike Smith	He ran fast in his last win, and he has a bright future, but with only four career starts Baffert's colt may not be seasoned enough for the Belmont.	8-1 BSF: 106
10. Optimizer Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas Jockey: Corey Nakatani	Wayne Lukas says he'll like the turns at Belmont. Are you kidding, Wayne? He's lost his last three starts by a combined 48 lengths.	20-1 BSF: 91
11. I'll Have Another	Scratched Another year without a Triple Crown winner
12. My Adonis Trainer: Kelly Breen Jockey: Ramon Dominguez	An 11th-hour addition to the field. Owner and trainer won the Belmont last year with 24-1 Ruler on Ice, but this one's chances look more remote.	20-1 BSF: 95
