Belmont Update - 3:45 p.m.

The first big upset of the day of Belmont day happened in the 7th race when champion female turfer Forever Together was upset by Diamondrella in the Just a Game.

The next race on the card, The Woody Stephens, will showcase some of the up and coming 3-year-olds that were not ready or good enough to make the Triple Crown. Horses to watch in the race include Munnings, who cost $1.7 million at auction two years ago, This Ones for Phil, trained by Rick Dutrow who is best known for Big Brown's Triple Crown run of last year, and the undefeated (3-for-3) Hull.

As for the Belmont odds, the only change is Chocolate Candy drifting up to 7-1.

Mine That Bird is still even money, Charitable Man is 5-1 and Dunkirk 6-1.

The big mystery is how Luv Gov is 20-1. A horse who is 1-for-11 lifetime was a well beaten eight in the Preakness should be at least 50-1.
