Fast horses and big money are front and center this coming Saturday at Elmont, New York with the much-awaited last leg of the 2021 Triple Crown season in its traditional schedule. Have you made your picks yet? If not, let the experts help you decide which horse you should lay money on at the 2021 Belmont Stakes.
Hank Goldberg, formerly of ESPN and NBC, has a horse he is eyeing as his top pick to win the 2021 Belmont Stakes. But it’s kind of a secret, as you would have to subscribe or pay first before knowing which horse that is. Here’s one thing he’s offered free: a fade on Rock Your World. This 3-year-old horse placed just 17th in the 2021 Kentucky Derby and skipped the 2021 Preakness stakes, but is priced +600 at TopBet sportsbook to win the third leg of the Triple Crown this year. Rock Your World has three wins in four career races, including its victory at the Santa Anita Derby (Grade 1 stakes) back in April, where he beat Kentucky Derby champion, Medina Spirit.

Pick
Monique Vág
Rock Your World
If Golberg is staying away from Rock Your World Monique Vag of Covers is doing the opposite of that, as she has the 3-year-old horse to win it all at Elmont Park. Although aware of Rock Your World’s struggles in the 2021 Kentucky Derby, Vag thinks that the fact that it has only raced four times in its career means that it has a lot of gas left in the tank for the Belmont Stakes.
