Belmont Update - 5:00 p.m.

Calvin Borel was just interviewed on ESPN and was asked about not riding at all before the Belmont and he seemed at ease with his decision saying that he's stayed in shape and has kept busy. He also deflected some of that decision to his agent, Jerry Hissam. He certainly will leave himself open to criticism if he loses a close race in the Belmont.

As for an update on the odds, Mine That Bird is still hanging in at even money while Chocolate Candy if floating up to 8-1. He should be at least 10-1.

Charitable Man remains at 5-1 looks to be a good value as he loves Belmont and traditional dirt. Dunkirk remains steady at 6-1.

But, someone, please explain to me why Luv Gov is just 20-1. There's always someone who is way overbet in races and he is one of those horses. Flying Private is by far trainer D. Wayne Lukas' best shot.
