UPDATE - And not so great horses can be beaten by relative unknowns with harsh sounding five letter last syllables of their names.


BINGE AND

Looking for a betting angle in The Belmont Stakes? Consider this:

Man o' War lost once. To a horse named Upset

Secretariat lost twice. Once to a horse named Onion.

Seattle Slew, Triple Crown winner, lost his first race to Tobin.

Tim Tam lost in the Belmont to Cavan.

Forget past performances. Forget speed ratings. Forget the morning line. Obviously, the best horses lose only to relative unknowns with harsh sounding five letter names.

Don't say you weren't apprised.
