Handicapper's Corner: Who Will Win the 2017 Belmont Stakes?

Who Will Capture the Belmont Stakes?



Cloud Computing was the surprise winner of the Preakness Stakes. While none of the ThoroFan Handicappers had him on top, two, Chairman Michael Amo and Reinier Macatangay picked Cloud Computing as their long shot Preakness bomb. Dylan Jarmulowicz liked Cloud Computing for second place, while Nick Costa and Michael Mills had Cloud Computing in the show spot. 

Rounding the final turn of the Triple Crown Series, ThoroFan Handicappers resolutely faced the Test of Champions while making their selections for the 2017 Belmont Stakes.

Picks are for first through third place and our best longshot bomb. 

Good Luck to everyone!

Michael Amo comments, “The Belmont Stakes requires a tactical ride and stalking running style. With Classic Empire out of the race, Gormley ridden by Victor Espinoza inherits these winning characteristics. Gormley is rounding back into form and has the right stalking style. Victor Espinoza has the right experience.”


Reinier Macatangay observes, “The Belmont pace will be moderate because of Classic Empire's defection. Meantime should take advantage and be in a good, upfront position.

As for Tapwrit, the sire Tapit is hot in the Belmont S. winning 2 out of the last 3 editions.

Gormley faced a wide trip in the Kentucky Derby.”
