Betting on the ponies

Mark Belling of WISN radio has his picks up for the Belmont Stakes already.
Afleet Alex is a great and consistent horse who has been handled brilliantly by his trainer. He’ll be bet like crazy. People love him. But if you’re gambling on the race, there’s no place for sentiment.
I was a big fan of Afleet Alex from the beginning of the season. Belling doesn't think he has enough in the stretch. Belling's predicted order of finish:
1. Indy Storm
2. Reverberate
3. Afleet Alex
Belling gives an analysis of each horse as well as a wagering strategy and the locations where a legal wager can be made.
