2018 Belmont Stakes: Post Position Draw

The New York Racing Association just completed the post draw for the 150th running of the Belmont Stakes, they are as follows (with M/L Odds)

1  Justify (4-5)
2  Free Drop Billy (30-1)
3  Bravazo (8-1)
4  Hofburg (9-2)
5  Restoring Hope (30-1)
6  Gronkowski (12-1)
7  Tenfold (12-1)
8  Vino Rosso (8-1)
9  Noble Indy (30-1)
10  Blended Citizen (15-1)

I don't think the one hole is horrible for Justify, provided he breaks well.  If he doesn't then he might have some traffic issues but given his history I expect him to be up near the front and he might just get the perfect trip.  There's no "cut-off" issue or a early first turn to worry about at Belmont.

As far as everyone else goes I don't think there will be too much of an issue. Of all the horses I think Blended Citizen might have drawn the worst because his running style could lead to him getting caught out wide but in a 10 horse field, with some late closers, that's probably less of a problem than it would be otherwise.

The odds were announced by NYRA and re the ML odds from Belmont.  Previous odds shown were futures from Vegas.

Good luck.
