Weekend Racing Picks: Belmont Stakes

The 2020 Belmont Stakes is here, with a field of 10 drawn for the $1 million contest over 1 1/8-miles. Tiz the Law has been installed as a deserving 6-5 morning line choice following his victory in the Grade 1 Curlin Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park March 28.

Belmont Stakes Picks

Here are my selections and wagers for the day.

$5 Exacta, #8 Tiz the Law with #1 Tap It to Win and #9 Dr Post

$1 Superfecta Box, #1 Tap It to Win, #3 Max Player, #8 Tiz the Law, #9 Dr Post
