The Feature — Race 13, The Belmont Stakes
The Conductor likes #7 Commandment, currently 5/1. He had a poor trip in the Derby and ran better than it looks, moving early and wide into a slow pace.
#4 Renegade is the rightful favorite but way overbet here. He got destroyed at the start of the Derby, but the pace scenario worked in his favor.
