Belmont Update - 3 p.m.

With a 3 1/2 hours to go before the Belmont, the betting public has firmly backed Derby winner Mine That Bird.

The son of 2004 Belmont winner Birdstone is standing at even money. He might be a tad over bet but hard to doubt him now after the Derby and Preakness.

Second choice is Charitable Man - 5-1. I thought he might be a shorter price since he has never lost at Belmont (2-for-2) or on conventional dirt (3-for-3).

A pair of horses are tied for third choice at 6-1; Dunkirk and Chocolate Candy. Dunkirk's odds make sense but Chocolate Candy is over bet. He was 10-1 in the morning line and has never won “real dirt”.

The interesting next one on the list is Summer Bird. He is 11-1 and is become the “buzz horse” of Belmont Week. Before you get sold on him, remember he has only won one race in his career and is going to be far back early.
