2 weeks before Belmont- the field as it looks so far.

As of May 26, New York Racing Association Stakes Coordination Andrew Byrnes expects the Belmont Stakes field to be: Big Brown, Anak Nakal, Casino Drive, Denis of Cork, Icabad Crane, Macho Again, Tale of Ekati, and Tomcito. Bloodhorse.com has latest workout information here. The quarter crack to Big Browns hoof appears to be healing well and I don't think it will be a factor. One odd thing I find is that Casino Drive handlers have still not named a jockey. Are they possibly hoping that Big Brown's injury is worse than feared and they can then grab Kent Desormeaux??? Stay tuned for more info.
